Hi Sam, Someone jumped in already for the hospitalman, so he's covered. I went to the post office, and I didn't realize that they were closing at noon, and closed tomorrow. I'll get it out Monday. Happy New Year! Richard
Hi Sam, Packed and ready to go. I noticed a HM2 Sabino wants a three string. Would you please send him the one you were going to send me? I'd like to do that. I got too many instruments anyway! Okay with you? Happy New Year! Peace, richard
Hey Wichita Sam! Thanks for the reply! I've had several people respond with potential builds for me but something already put together would be super nice! Please get in touch, my email is ullcajun@hotmail.com Look forward to hearing from you.
Sam I have a build right now that I am putting a single coil in. I thought last week about adding a piezo to the top, right above the neck. I would just sandwich it between thick tape, then the lid and neck, and wire it to a pot. My question is, should I do that, or are there drawbacks I might be unaware to in this idea?
Hi Sam, I just wanted to thank you again and let you know I have not forgotten your kindness. The guitar has not shown up yet but I have only been here about 18 days so I suppose it is on its way. I did not want you to think I just got it and forgot to say thanks. You are a real friend to Sailors and every man in uniform

Sam I can not thank you enough! I will arrive within the week to the adress I gave you. So if what they are telling me about mail is true I think you can send it as soon as you are able and I should be there before it is. Thanks again you have just made this deployment a lot easier on me.

Sam, you are a life saver!! I was given 4 sea bags each weighing over 70 pounds of stuff to haul with me so there was no room for personal gear. I am going to afghanistan to work in a hospital there. I am a US Navy corpsman. I leave in just about a week. My adress is Matthew Borczon, Camp Bastion FPO AE 09372 I am not supposed to say too much more about it for opsec reasons. Still I can not imagine being without a guitar for that long. I can reimburse you for the postage if you need my to just tell what you need me to do. post it on my page and I will get it. Thank you thank you thank you!!! my friend

Thank you, I have heard many different ideas on the sandwich for a piezo. Your advice helped. C-
