I had the pleasure of meeting Steve from Smallbear Elec on Saturday at a guitar show in Philly. He was really busy, seemed like a nice down to earth guy. There was a pedal mod company there as well and they were very busy, maybe because they had two Klons. Another vendor was selling a discontinued but in the box timeline. I asked what he wanted for it...when he said $850 I laughed and kept walking.
Yeah, Steve seems like a truly stand-up guy. He really runs a great business, and I have always been a satisfied customer....since around 2004, I think :o
Hey, I almost went to that guitar show! Couldn't make it due to my performance schedule though(I play at a theater in Lancaster). Heard it was cool, but overpriced across the board.
