Info
Michael Collins is coming out with a book on building a laminated gypsy swing guitar.
The only complete manual which explains the construction of the laminated gypsy swing guitar in full detail. All instruction for the construction of molds, jigs, and the procedures to build your very own instrument from scratch. Line drawings, and many photos make the completion of either a d-hole, or an oval hole guitar possible to anybody that is up for a good challenge. Mr. Maccaferri would be pleased!
Due Fall of 2004.

Online Orders & shipping Information
All orders purchased here at CurtSheller.com, JazzGuitarResources.com, UkuleleChords.net and UkuleleForGuitarPlayers.com are processed using a secure shopping cart system and shipped within 48 hours USPS. Allow 7 to 10 business days for delivery. It is not our intention to profit from shipping and handling charges. The rates are an average cost, and intended to cover expenses only. Please do not ask how long it will takes to get your order. All US orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail® or USPS First-Class Mail® (under 1lb) and delivery dates are not predictable. I do not check on an order not received until three weeks have elapsed since it was shipped. Three weeks is not how long it takes to get your order. Rather, it is how long it takes to convince us that something is wrong. Some orders are returned by the USPS and we have to wait to see if that has happened before any action is taken. Thanks, Curt Sheller Publications.
