LGM thats great, I bet you're having a time of your life doing what you do. I didnt know that 9/11 could affect you say hard, im terribly sorry about that. Being 16, just when i started trying to build guitars I felt a surge and like a "calling" that this is what I wanna do with my life and I've never felt more sure. (I actually wanna raise enough to buy my own music store with my own little sectionr for my own guitars) Do you still keep in contact with the lady from Minnesota by the way?. Also did you learn to paint in thos 3 years because i know you can detialed airbrushing. heh 85k...money goes by quickly doesnt it? Ive invested $2000 . Well Im happy you've gotten over your depressiong because thats one of the hardest things to overcome . Well I cant wait to see how much more you progress. Keep doing great LGM, i love you work.
