Congratulations on Your newest arrival!!Hope You did'nt chew off Your pickin nails waiting for it to arrive.I waited for over a year for my D-18GL,and there was not one day I did'nt think about it.It took about a week to have it shipped from Texas to Pa.after they{Craigs Music} finally received it and that was the worst part of the wait.I was worse than I was when my first daughter was born,worrying if it was going to get trashed during shipping etc.. What a thrill and relief it was to finally get it and find all fingers and toes in the right places...I still get that same feeling every time I get it out,and the first thing I do when I open the case...take in a big deep wif....Ahhhhh,to me it is intoxicating...
How is the banjo pickin coming along?I like the banjo in FtA,have You worked on that yet?
As for Your limited space problem,I have a very simple solution...We have lots of room in Our house and I would be happy to help out any Gordfan/guitarpicker in such a dilemna.Thats just the kind of guy I am,always willing to help out those in need..We have a very large yard,a nice semi-enclosed back porch/patio with great acoustics,a Fender Champ25 SE,a Peavy Ecoustic112,a Boss RC20 Phrase Recorder,a Alverez AJ60SC and Alv/YairiDY45(the fraternals),the elec.Samick wannabe Tele.(the neglected one,I admit,I don't even know were it is right now).I know that 28 would be very happy here for as long as needed, and You could visit anytime...Take some time and give it some thought...
