Well the guitar is finished!
Just paid Roger the balance - he's asked if he can keep the guitar till Wednesday as he has someone in to look at guitars and he doesn't have much on show at the moment; I'm okay with this as I know some of the guitars I tried when I was at his workshop were already sold and, if those customers were okay to wait a few days so I got an idea of what was available, then so I am.
Just under a week to wait now...
Only think that's slightly annoying is that I've asked for photos of the completed guitar (for the second time, and only just a shot of the front and back!) and not had anything, but I guess Roger is from the days before build diaries and so forth so I'm not that bothered - I guess it'll be cool to see the guitar for the very first time in the actual flesh!

Ah well, it seems the Alex's are not to meet this weekend after all, but I'm sure we can sort something out once you do have yours! And you can have a go on mine when you come to collect CBT if it won't be too agonising for you!!

Well the photos never arrived but I'm not that bothered - I'd rather my guitar was being built then photographed! Roger ha told me the guitr is being assembled this week! I don't know whether they leave them for a few days to settle, but, depending on when its finished I might have the guitar by my weekend trip to Keith's to pick up the road trip mandolin... Currently checking my emails every three minutes... Very exciting!, Looking forward to this as well Phil

Ode to Envy
(with sincere apologies to J Milton Hayes, William McGonagall, songwriters everywhere and all Forum Members)
There's an idle green-eyed fellow to the north of the M62, He is waiting for his custom Fylde with all the patience he can do. Now Jack Orion's got his perhaps Brian's will be here ere long, If only to put a much-needed end to this pitiful, painful song. So, Roger B if you are reading this, please recognise the need Of an aged Meldrew of the north to have his GAS appeased.
Brian (the man who put the "po" in "poet")
