I had too many questions for the Guitar Solo guy. I've been in there before and he always seems uninterested in talking even if you're the only person in there. Perpetually grumpy or I don't look fancy enough, ha ha.

I'll check out Berkeley.
Schoenberg only has two and they're both built in CA, feels weird to have a non-latino builder but that's me being a snobby outsider, ha!

Very happy with them…they ship quick too!

I sent them an email but I think it was too close to closing time on Friday. Hopefully I'll hear back Monday. They have some great videos at least!
