I'm new here and don't know if this is the place to discuss this or ask but....has anyone had any dealings with Ron Oates? I ask because my son "purchased" or I should say paid for a hand made mandolin from him and has never received the finished product. The final payment was made in June of 2003 with an e-mail from Ron that all was well and the mandolin was ready to be shipped but was never delivered. We are wits end as to why this happened. He seemed like a dependable builder. Michael Kang of "String Cheese Incident" plays his mandolins but we can not even get him to answer an e-mail or his phone anymore?http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif Please, if someone has any experoence with him, I would greatly appreciate a reply. Thank you all.....Old Man Knipes http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif
