I posted a pic of the Gold Digger that I had made as part if my sons boot camp graduation present recently and was waiting on the other call and it's arrived.
After talking to Ronnie about what I was looking for I contacted Aaron Wingert to check where I was on the list and as luck had it I was coming up to my turn on his long list and told him what I wanted.
Both Ronnie Laun and Aaron Wingert did what they do so well and turned some beautiful working calls. Both in African Blackwood and the Gold Digger with a copper band. The pic doesn't do them justice and it's going to be hard giving that Gold Digger away, that new tone board is awesome.
