Wow, seems like a drastic move. I wonder if there is more to the story?

Well,after talking with a guy who has dealt with Tom,he understands that the guy is more into being a builder than a buisnessman.
Going down to a one man shop has its plus's I guess.

Thing is, he can always hire an office/business manager or whatever and go back to being more of an investor/shareholder in the company and building guitars at the same time. Or do what Leo Fender did, sell the shop off and open a new shop under a different name (ie G&L).

I'm trying to find those plus's! It's killing me.

I agree shame about Tom's business. Hope it works out for the best in the long run.

I didnt know you were doing all the leg(and backbone) work as well George,hats off to you my friend. Guess Toms insight of a 1 man operation isnt going to make him 24/7 nuts.
