Haven't you ever 🐝 been to home Depot and gone to the Pine/Fir bin?

If home Depot does it it must be official...

Yes I think there are Pine Fir hybrids, and also Pine species that look like firs.

A little incoherent, been working really hard at two jobs, teaching and making guitars.

The first sister is quite the debutant-

I took this guitar to a concert/talk by the teachers at the university in a town a couple hours drive. After the concert the lead teacher played Tarrega on it, handed it to another teacher and stepped back about ten feet. He was behind me, I coudn't tell what he was doing, but the teacher playing kept nodding at him as she played in different places on the board. Then I heard this furious horrible scratching sound and it was distracting me from listening to the instrument. It stopped in a minute, he tapped me on the shoulder and said, This is my personal recommendation to one of the three best guitar dealer in Japan, use my name, he will see you. He's very steeped in guitar history and knows his stuff. Then he haded me a paper with the dealers information written on it.
Every dog gets his day.

Hope you will finally make it into the in-group. I've heard that barriers can be high in Japan.
