Very kind of you!

Every time I check out a freight company on one of those 'product review' websites they get 1 out of 5 stars! I guess that's more a reflection of those sites; they tend to reflect the opinions of dissatisfied customers. Also the nature of the freight business - so much can go wrong.

How right you are.
I have used the last company a couple of times now and have found to be quick cheap and reliable. Can't ask for much more than than.
Cheers

Three years on and the Urchin is packed away in its case. The neck is a dream but the body and I just don't get along - I can't get comfortable playing it. I play mostly sitting down and that upper 'fin' is right where my elbow wants to be.

So it's off to gumtree or maybe ebay. I guess I'm more likely to find a buyer on ebay but that would mean having to send it by freight. It's too big for Australia Post -- can any fellow Aussies suggest a freight company that doesn't charge the earth to private customers?


Quoting myself!

Pulled the U-60T out of the case and once again was blown away by that neck. Hey it only owes me $200, guess I may as well hang onto it a little while longer... My son, who I actually bought it for to play while he saved up for something 'better' (ha!), loved it too - he is now a good enough guitarist to appreciate what a great guitar it is. He finds it comfortable to play too so maybe I'll give it to him.
