I am happy to say that today is my last day at work until Jan 5th!
I have promised my family that I will do my best to stay "unplugged" during the Christmas break. BUT that I better be allowed some serious shop time! :D

I be checking in from time to time though.
Please feel free to email me with any questions.
lance@kragenbrinkguitars.com

On the string order, I started sending them out last week, I have 3 more orders shipping today and that leaves just two orders to finish.
Cant say who has shipped and who has not as I don't have my notes in front of me now.
Suffice to say, we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! YAH!


Hope you all have a great Holiday! See you soon!

LK

Yes, happy christmas to everyone who gets their nose full of wood dust!

May your holiday be filled with the people you love, and some you like, and a few you could do without.

A very merry Christmas to you too Lance, and to Brock, and Hesh, and all you other OLF'ers out there!

BTW, Lance, my strings arrived today, thanks! Everything's in order. I've sorted them into sets and sealed each set in its own plastic bag already. I'll be sending out 3 sets of 36 to the 3 people that I went in with (GregG, Lex Luthier, Blain) tomorrow.

Cheers,
Dave F.
