Are you trying to joke? By Nov/Dec he will be just a memory here and will waste his time over on "The Gretsch Pages"

Just hung up the phone, got a call from my Postmistress who informed my that my guitar has arrived.
I thanked her very much because USPS Tracking has been down for about 37 minutes!!!

Heeeyyyyyyyyy!! Did she take a peek under the hood?
Uh, Brent, I don't quite know how to mention this but when shipping a guitar, especially one worth several thousand dollars;
it is customary to put the case inside a box with some padding. You should notice that tomorrow when your Gretsch arrives.
In case anyone is interested, it was in tune when it arrived. But that is the absolute worst straight pick I've ever tried to use!
Oh, and the lady at the Post Office swore she never tuned it.

I am sincerely sorry for that oversight. As I am sure you have by now guessed, I have never shipped a guitar. I really am sorry. Ignorance of something so simple is no excuse. The lady tossed the shipping labels on it and I trusted her judgement. Big mistake. Really I do apologize. It came in the condition I shipped it in?
On the subject of the pick. Those happen to be the picks designed by the Gods I am sure you didn’t mean that.
Stayed in tune, huh? Great! What was the first chord! How do you like it??

And it sounds as good as it looks.
And it plays like a dream!

This makes me feel happy. I am glad you like it! I thought the rosewood used on that particular instrument was gorgeous. It is a tick above the like used on my Natural. The headstock wood as well was a very intriguing piece.
It didn’t get played like my old beat up one and wasn’t serving me. I hope you get years of smiles brought to your face with it
