Mr Wu / Yunzhi / Ms Lora

It's been stated over and over.. if you aren't up for the risk and you don't have a plan to deal with potential issues, a custom Chinese archtop is not for you. And now with tariffs, the prices are headed up. If an individual is prone to the extremes of pain and disgust, I would recommend avoiding custom Chinese archtops and looking into a well built used US made guitar that can be inspected before purchase.

I merely repeated your sentiment as expressed by your comment I dont why you expounded
the risks of ordering of a custom guitar from China as I dont know what the hell is going on.

Mark's waiting list currently is over 2 years. His basic standard model starts of at $5600.

Ms Lora informs that a guitar may be returned if the customer is unsatisfied.
I understand when you 1st received that guitar, you told her it was fine.
Not only did you go on to trash the guitar, you attacked Ms Lora's and Ms Wu's
integrity. Although China was only beginning to come out of the lockdown, You
nevertheless bugged the hell out of those folks. It appears the guitar was shipped
asap without allowance for a proper cure just to accommodate your huge sense
of entitlement.

. . . I can honestly say I will never forget her as long as I live! LOL

Wow! I didn’t know what the HELL I was talking about! lol! Every time I see her email and the Chinese characters,
my instant feeling now is one of “uh-oh.” Right now, they’re closed down for the New Year for about a month. I’m
enjoying their break myself. LOL!

I have an inexpensive "Mr Wu" guitar, it's a good guitar, better than many of the more expensive Archtops I've owned.

That's a beauty. I'm sure you have regrets. My Wu will
be one of his more remarkable builds once they finally
finish the knob inlays and the 2 pickguards are finished.
(I hope.).

I have no regrets, the "Mr Wu" guitar, is a good guitar.

Following this thread (which seems like it's from 4-5 years ago) there seems to have been an issue with the original order. What was the problem? I had good experiences w/ALL my Wu guitars. Mr Wu / Yunzhi / Ms Lora-470137564_1335920387571814_8071662355614356161_n-jpg

There are several parallel paths in this thread - what makes it confusing is that some of these parallel paths cross (which causes a break in the space/time continuum)
