The most un-believable thing happened to me today. As you all know by now, WCR and RS Guitarworks have been enjoyng a great professional relationship, and friendship with all concerned.We keep refering people to each other all the time, and it's been working just GREAT !
Anyhow, today, UPS pulled up. Had a box about 4 feet tall for me. On the label it read "RS GuitarWorks," so right away I knew something was up. Carol got out the camera, and I proceeded to open it up. I opened one end of it, and started pulling out packing like a maniac. Well, I am one, but that's beside the point. I got about 8-10 inches down, and damn if there wasn't the end of a nice case. I pulled it out, set it on the lawn, and here is what was in it

Incredible
!!!.Light as a feather, meaner than hell itself!
It was signed inside the cavities by everyone there at RS. Came complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, also signed by everyone !
It is called the "StepSide Custom" and in the very last part of the fret board, it is stamped serial number : WCR-1." WHOA !!!!

Now, rest assured, I am too damn busy playing it to get ANY work done around here today. I'm not even sure it's really mine. As soon as Carol saw it, she was sure you made a mistake and had meant it to be for her. Same thing happened again when my daughter Rachel came home. She said it was just her size.....lol
ROY ! Whatever it was I did to deserve something like this, i hope I can figure it out, so I can do it again ! I'm tellin' ya, I am just blown away by you and your crew there. I have never even met you or anybody at your shop in person, and ya'll do something like this...... beyond my puny vocabulary to thank you enough. But I'll sure as hell try ! Thankyou, thank you, thank you, (get the point?) thank you, etc. etc; etc;
