Morning Henry,

Good to hear back from you again.

Like we said hopefully we can establish ourselves as a bigger player in 
the FCS world over the next couple of years. We certainly plan to grow 
our collection.

Normally we do say we will hold a guitar for 30 days with a 10% 
deposit. As it's a FCS model you're looking at we are happy to hold it 
till May if you could stretch to a 25% deposit?

Kind Regards,
Harriet
