Hi Gard and the rest,
I briefly owned an LG3005, and I loved the tone but the ergonomics just didn't work for me. Ever since then I've wished I could special order a Roscoe with certain specs like scale length and neck profile- does Roscoe take custom orders from non-celebrities?  |

Gard'll have to fill in that blank.

TBH I'm just tire-kicking right at this moment, but ever since I sold that LG I've been looking for that tone again, and wishing the LG had fit me better. I'll bear this info in mind when I can afford to order. Thanks! |

| Leave it to the dealer to forget to add the fine print. I've had a couple of guys do custom scale and width orders, but I don't think I've ever had a profile request. If so, it would have only been once, and a long time ago.
So...if there was any confusion before, if you've always wanted a Roscoe but were hung-up on the 35" scale lengh, you can get one in a 34", but it'll cost ya' a bit extra.  |

I can only work so much before I have to escape from reality. Working with .HTML and .ASP all day, I have to do something to keep me from becoming totally insane.
