Tim: After you and I hung up earlier today, I put a new set of Savarez Alliance 540R's on the guitar and you wouldn't think it was the same guitar! From low E to high E and at all points in-between, it has much more punch. The "G" string is explosive and I think that the "B" and "E" aren't far behind. Because of that change, I'm a little embarrassed about my earlier email and subsequent phone call. I want you to know that I REALLY appreciate your kind demeanor on the phone. In my case it is simply that I want to be all that I can be musically and to a large degree, we are dependent upon the instruments that we play.................. especially when playing acoustically. I really am stunned with the difference in the voicing of these new strings. I have played Savarez on my laminated Takamine for a couple of years now and they even make that laminated, stiff, glue laced strata of a sound board sound respectable. (O.K., maybe not respectable but it doesn't sound like a plywood top anymore.) I never asked you on the phone about the strap for the case. Is one to be included with the case? There is one for the case cover but not the case itself. I'm not even sure that I'd ever use it but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks again Tim. You really run a class act there at Guitar Salon. I am VERY impressed. If the Lord should continue to bless my company (looks like 2000 will be another banner year), I'll be contacting you for another guitar later this year so be thinking of a Luthier that will build me something really special. ($10,000.00 to $15,000.00 range maybe).
God Bless.
