as I have stated before, I will do what I can when I can, I am not trying to skip out on my responsibilities or I wouldn't even bother posting.
coming from a different culture being blessed by the pipe is a great honor to be included in a pipe ceremony, I always have my guitars out when we have one so they can be blessed also..
maybe I was wrong as not everyone understands or cares for our religion or ways, but it is ours..
for a person to claim that it stinks and to scrub it off is actually a great insult not only to me but my family too...
I am sorry..
Fact is, the guitar should have been returned in its original state. I can't believe you're pulling the "you don't accept my culture" card in trying to get out of this. That point is moot. The exact $ amount should be held private between you and Gregg, but I will say you do owe reparation for the actions you've taken. Your internet reputation is already shot, but this may be one step towards some damage control that you desperately need. Good luck to both of you.
