Dear Perry:

      We are rather releived to hear that you are more anxious to get your Guitar back quickly than to have your name inlaid in the head. We can use one of our stock head plates, inlaid with a mother-of-pearl design such as we use on our Style 45 Guitars and the work will only take three or four days. We will, of course, observe with the greatest care your suggestion...\"
