I'm happy, I is. After a bit of to and fro-ing (as it was damaged in transit) my guitars now have a new home and it's created a lot more space in my office. Many thanks to Andy (@standmade )

"....created a lot more space in my office...."
I seem to recall something from my (long ago) school days, in physics class, about GAS expanding to fill all available space.
Any thoughts on that fundamental law of the universe Leo?

Glad you kept the reso on the wall - I used to spend hours polishing that brass.

Are you morphing into Chris Stern? I just asked Mrs b. She said "Who the **** is Chris Stern?" I wasn't able to answer that. So who the **** is Chris Stern?

He is the only person on here whose posts tend to be shorter than the list of guitars in his signature. Not because his posts are always particularly short.... Although if Leo listed all of his own instruments.... Keith
