I ordered another Negra, because I realize we will start international touring and I have to take my Negra, as it is my favorite guitar… but I should have a backup, because I don’t trust airlines or their employees.
Somewhere on the DeVoe website it says that the wait list is 3 years!!! In the mean time you could always pick up one of those “Esteban” guitars from QVC. ;-) Hey, has a luthier ever approached you about making a signature “Ottmar” guitar?
By the way, the first time I considered taking my guitar on an airplane I searched the internet for some advice. Found this article: http://www.acguitar.com/Gear/advice/flying.shtml
I’ve flown twice with my cheap guitar and was terrified when I had to gate check it! I can’t imagine flying with my nice instrument let alone a DeVoe! It’s not even so much the cost of the instrument but how attached you get to it.
How long is the waiting list?
Does the “Guitar God” get priority delivery? :)
