That is really nice John. So, how's the recovery going? What is your ETA to get back to work (or are you already?) |

I think it's great John, nice Oklahoma landscapes. Maybe add a 'hawk making lazy circles in the sky'. Are those the Arbuckles? |

John, I love it. It has a whole "timeless" feel to it. It's just what you want to feel when you get an instrument - that it's heirloom quality with history. Nice job to you and your designer. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

My broken ribs, and incision still hurt like 24/7. My other side developed pleurisy so that hurts like crazy too. All that being said I'm getting a tiny bit better everyday. We close on our new house, and my new shop today! Although I can't really move anything luckily I have lots of family around...I'm kinda glad I get to skip out on schlepping stuff. I also do part time repairs at Norman Music Center and I went back there yesterday and worked for a few hours. It was nice to get out, although I tired really fast. |

What does it run to get a label designed? Ballpark. |

Very nice, John. Will those babies be pre-cut and pre-gummed? I'm wondering how much more work will be involved. (My labels are quite user-unfriendly.) Steve |

Steve They are designed to work with sheet stock from places like lablesbythesheet.com so I just print them out on my laser prtinter, and stick em in, they are diecut, and pre-sticky. For about $30 I'll have around 250 labels. |

I am also wondering about making a label... I am not sure that Fretwank guitar is a good name... I wonder what about Formosa Guitars? |
