C'mon folks, surely you have an ax you want to send back. Feel like you took a real shafting on that 4-0 series Martin? Have a Guild 12 that's just too heavy for you? And surely someone has an LS-O9 with the Rose Lady or even the Dragon headstock? Somebody? Anybody? Ditch that clunker and send it to the Instrument Return Center in Bremen, Ohio.

Now lessee, I got some saddle blanks here.......where's the damn files........oh, here they are.........(shooka-shooka-shooka-shooka-shooka).............
