Thread Name: Handcarved Guitar strap by Billo Sables.
Subject: RE: Handcarved Guitar strap by Billo Sables.
I love my guitar. I'm having wonderful fun with it. I think it sounds beautiful, and it's easy to play (action).

It was COMPARATIVELY inexpensive. I just felt funny putting something as precious as Bills handiwork on something inexpensive, that's all. I was being light about it. Sorry.

I'm also glad to hear that my guitar is well thought of. Thank you. It's made in Canada you know.

There is a funny story concerning my purchase. Want to hear it? Good.

I walked into the music store with my heart set on a Yamaha because my ex had one and it always sounded good to me. When I requested the Yamaha, the store clerk informed me that they had no Yamahas. I started looking around and strumming some guitars. All of a sudden the clerk tells me that I should try the Seagull. He says it's made on the N. American Continent, Canada. Not in some Asian country, by children, in some sweat factory!!! How could I say no?

People are so funny sometimes. Well, I liked it and had heard the name Seagull before, and it was the right price, so, I bought it.

Mick, I wish you could be here too. annap
