When are you back? Coz these 2 are being picked up on Thursday apparently.
Leaving next Wednesday, come back the 23rd of Feb... Not mine then.
He said he will try have it ready before I leave... But I don't see it happening... 7 months is a long wait for a guitar :'(
All small scale luthiers must be effected by the weather and especially humidity. With the conditions that have prevailed in the highveld the last while Mervyn's production might well have taken a knock. He likes to do certain jobs when it's very dry (as a consequence of which his guitars laugh at a highveld winter) but "very dry" is not most people's idea of the summer we've had thus far.
I waited 8 months for mine in the end. This is the only hand-made guitar I've had from new, so I can't say if this time is exceptional, unacceptable or whatever.
