music man petrucci Dear guitarlegend,
Chance,
I left positive feedback on your profile.
When I recieved the guitar and started to examine it I was just
awe struck. My mouth dropped, you were right along and the set up is more than professional. Man, I wish I could bring the
family and live near you.
I haven't plugged in yet I hope it sounds as good as it looks
and as well as it is put together.
The guitar guitar is light, how does it compare in weight to the
expensive John Putrucci guitars?
Is it me or have the epiphones been going up in price, heck at
that rate they well be as expensive as the Gibson's!
Can I email you or call you if I have questions regarding guitar maintenance or theory?
When I run across people who have problems with their set ups
or want to buy a guitar like mine is it okay for me send them to
you?
God Loves Ya,
Richard

my next door neighbor, from chicago Hey Chance–You did a most excellent job prepping my new guitar. I got it all unpacked and hooked up - it looks awesomely beautiful  (nearly giving me a *****) and SOUNDS GREAT!   I will check out youtube to see about lessons – it’s been a long time since my high school days, so may take me awhile.  I never would have known you deal in guitars – it was a good idea puting out those signs.  Now I know where to go for gear, goodbye Guitar Center, Mike A@#l.....................

one customer who bought an ibanez Hey Chance,
I wanted to take a minute out of my new guitar festivities (well, it's "new" to me anyway, because this is the start of my new life, from a better and "happier time" in 1985, you know the score on that one from what we talked about earlier Chance.
But at any rate, I just wanted to take a minute to write to the person that made it all possible and to tell you thank you so very much for going out of your way for me, a total basket case, a stranger, you truly are doing the Lord's work Chance my friend. What you did for me is the exception these days, and not the rule. It is hard to find "real people' anymore Chance, and I wanted to let you know that I am glad we met.
As such, I consider it an honor to know you man. I don't say that about alot of people, maybe I have said it about some of my buds that didn't make it back from GWI, but hardly anyone in "real" life. It is rare to hear me say it about anyone. Just ask my fiance! LOL
I don't know what brought us together that fateful dreary night when I emailed you, desperation I suppose, but I am very glad I did. I feel it is my priveledge to know you Chance.
Not only did you help me out Chance, but more importantly, I gained a friend.
And I would take the gaining of a selfless friend over all the guitars in the world any day.
If you want to print any this on your web page that is fine Chance, as I see you have printed letters from the past before about different people (KUDOS!) , but for my privacy sake, if you do, please don't use my real name okay?
Thanks man,
Johnny...........................

one man's testimonial Hey Chance. You may not remember me but you sent me a delta, acoustic guitar about 7 months ago as I was in the V.A. hospital in L.A. CA. I have been back in my home town for almost 8 months now. I couldn't find work due to the economy so I decided to go back to school. I've got 1 semester down with a 3.8 g.p.a. and took music this summer during the 1st. session and just started the 2nd. session and you will be pleased to know that the professor of the guitar class has asked me to be his assistant for the beginning guitar students. No pay, but very rewarding and if it wasn't for your gift I would be unable to be where I'm at right now.
I just want to thank you so much for your help, I wonder if you have ANY idea of just how much you have blessed me, mostly in a mental way but it has had enormous physical and emotional attributes. I hope our creator can do something good for you in return.
again, thank you so much for your help.
Now, on the other side of things. I've been granted a nice chunk of $ for school! and I'm looking at classical,nylon string guitars. I've look at a huge price range from $89.00 to, well, I'm sure you know sky's the limit right. I'm looking to spend about $300.00. I found a Chinese brand called "valencia" solid sitka top, real nice for a Chinese guitar. I would like to know what brands you carry in that area. I usually wouldn't buy a guitar unless I could play it first, but you have been good to me, so if possible I would like to buy my guitar from you. please let me know what you think.

one more comment from the 2 basses in 2 year man CHANCE:
SOmewhere, in Danelecro heaven, they are singing your name!
This is Dano # 2 from Fort Madison and they BOTH rawk!! big time.
Both were/are dead-mint; set up perfectly, and play like Dano himself
intended them to sound!!
Bass # 1 of course was the Silverburst LongHorn PRO no less, OEM right from
the Korean tone factory! KILLER bass...
But #2...!    !   !
YOU made that! Dano PRO (guitar) Body fab'd into a Bass Guitar!
Killer!
SeaFoam Green, not a mark on it, neck set perfectly, even tone across the
fingerboard, perfectly intonated, action to the max, and PUNCH to the bone!!
(Hey, it's a Dano)-....................this space is reserved for your comments, thanx to all Chance
Wow! I'm stoked! It's a GREAT add to my Bass Guitar collection; one which
nobody else is gonna show up with!
Too cool-
Thanks again Chance!
