Collection only. No matter how well you pack this it will be vulnerable. I don't think any couriers insure instruments to anything like their true value.
I know this will reduce your market, and thereby your price, but will save on some major hassle.
Not exactly time to give up the day job, but hey, I'm off on tour! Would love to see some BC support along the way!

One of your drummers, Matt, is a good example of locking in. Solidly in time, but can play around the beat. Jammed with him once, he played a wonderful lazy groove by being behind the beat. Joy to play with.
This. Saw a drummer do this at a jam night - snare, bass drum, hi-hat, and one cymbal. His comment was along the lines of "this'll sort the men from the boys".
I'll just search your facebook posts then 😁 But yes, had those issues there before. Nothing crazy, just a little tingling on the lips - fairly innocuous for Kemptown on a Friday night!!
He is one hell of a class act. I had the privilege of working with him back in about 88/89 when I was at a small independent record company. Unfortunately we had neither the budget, nor the know how to match his talent. Lovely guy too.
Didn't they use basswood for these? I know they did for some of the high end, solid finish guitars like the Luke. Or is basswood another name for poplar?
