I just want my lap steel.
He's still selling on eBay and his phone number is still active. I hope he's well and I wish him the best, but this is no way to run a business.

I'm stymied. I just got my new Rukavina lap steel and the one person I'd found for lessons has moved to the mainland. I'll travel anywhere on the island.

Not answering his email or phone. I've got three builds in the works, and while that concerns me a little, I'm more concerned about him. Hope he's ok.
