I've made a phone call to US a few days ago. Talked with Island Guitars, biggest guitar shop in Hawaii. Then made some email exchanges with Neil, owner of the shop. Nice that they are kind and prompt to respond.

All of this is for Mr. TT, ex-professional steel guitarist and current pentioner-bandmaster of CASUAL FIVE. He wanted to buy a 8-string steel guitar there during his stay in Hawaii, but missed chance to get it because of his tight schedule. Now he regrets that he should have purchased the steel guitar. Anyway he has fallen in love with that, which needs some repairment. He can repair it as he makes many kinds of things by himself.

This morning he phoned me and said he would take the instrument. He will show it to me when delivered from Hawaii. I already know what it is like from the web page of Island Guitars' inventory. It is CUTE.
