Morning Phill ,
Nothing worse than customers,
I will call you at 11am to discuss, what the 28ec comes with (paperwork
cert tags etc) ,
I know this is a customer decision etc ,
but I would like your opinion on the side by side tone quality of what I
purchase 00028 vs the more costly 28ec you need to be my trusted eyes
and ears ,
I know you can do this for me !
You can then please send the chosen instrument off asap today would be
great ?
Lord have mercy
Sincerely
Jim
