Thats some remarkable deals - I got stiffed with 20% import duty from fedex after I got my guitar - I said I'm not paying a double dip duty, and they haven't bothered me since - yet! TT

I bought my Estralita, ( N- 100 ), from a fellow Police Officer whom I work with. His father owned a junk yard for decades and traded a used car for the Estralita back in the fifties. His father did not play much so it sat in their basement for years until he passed. My friend was kind enough to sell it to me. It is being put back into playing condition as we type. John

Hi John Were you aware of it for a while, or was it a massive suprise? Did you know what it was straight away? TT

No. He is not a guitar player and had mentioned for about a year that he had an old guitar he wanted me to look at. He finally brought it out to the rifle range and showed it to me. It was in need of help but looking at the construction, the inlays on the finger board and the binding I figured it was worth bringing back to life. I then came to this web site and ... ;D Can't wait to get it back and play it ! He stated that it was headed to the trash bin if I did not take it. John

Hi Mark, I heard about your new book "Palm Trees, Senoritas and Rocket Ships". Where can I buy it? Is it possible to get a signed copy directly from you? Best regards Willie
