Re: Iris Guitars. (DF)

On a lesser note, I had trouble with TNAG trying to ship me the wrong Iris guitar... sitka vs Adi and 1 11/16 vs 1 3/4" nut. Seems the guy who initially took the order quit after taking the order. A very disorganized group of folks. I would never suggest to anyone to order from them. And they ...
