This looks like an incredibly fun project. I’d turn it into a five string! Wish you were closer to Memphis and that I could entice you with some sort of trade deal. If this doesn’t sell, please let’s rap and figure out a way to get this in my hands. I would/could make the road trip, but can only give low-ball cash offer at present.
