[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 899393, member: 1535"] I'm a nut for mahogany. Most of my gigging guitars are mahogany,its my favorite wood. (You are coming by your woods legally I presume? You know the FBI raided Gibson this past week checking into the use of rare illegal woods. A shame.) Thanx. I do have good people to work on my stuff when I'm in KC or Des Moines where my bands are based and I do use a guy in Tulsa as well as I have always had backup gear for when any of my gear goes down,its just, the best guy in the area is gone. But thanx for the suggestion. Appreciate it. I will miss calling and argueing with him. Nice civil friendly arguments about caps,tubes,rectifiers,etcetc. A friend of mine in a local popular cover band rocks one of Ricks amps that he built. Hey,those guys have done stellar work for decades,but even they mess up some times. What happens there is,IMO, alot of old guys with vintage instruments are clogging the system with setups and repairs on gear theyre playing in the garage and in bedrooms. Then when a working musician like us needs something done today before a weekends worth of gigs or an upcoming mini tour then we're left scrambling to find other options. Just sayin. [/QUOTE]
