  • Earlier this year I was really close to pulling the trigger on a Dunable custom shop order myself. I had everything picked out except for the finish. I wanted it to have kind of a natural, almost unfinished look, with the wood grain showing through, but I was worried about ordering something like that sight unseen. I kept thinking about being potentially disappointed by an ugly or uninteresting piece of wood. So I went back and forth between ordering what I really wanted, or going with what I considered a safer option of a solid color. This went on for a few weeks. Then one night I was poking around on Reverb, and the exact (well, very nearly exact) guitar I had been imagining popped up for sale. I looked at the pictures and read the specs, thought “Holy shit, that’s my guitar,” and ordered it on the spot. It’s amazing, and everything I could have hoped for.

    I honestly feel a bit bad now that I lucked into skipping the wait that you’re currently stuck in. On the bright side I guess that’s one less guitar in the queue ahead of you, so maybe yours will come a few days earlier than it would have if I had been more decisive. Hang in there, you’re going to love it.

    I have one of these, but I’ve never been able to get good results with it. The screen doodad that is supposed to sit on top of the coffee grounds always flips up and pushes all of the grounds to one side. The resulting cup ends up bitter and acrid, even with condensed milk. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, or if there is something wrong with my brewer, or if everything is working as intended and I just don’t like it.
