Anyone live near Lonnie or headed that way in the next month or so? Looking to get a call for my dad. I've got a used one from a fella but I don't feel as though I should be giving a used call to the man that helped give me life. Dad doesn't get out much and I'd like to make sure that he's got a good, new box. He fell in love with mine when I was up home a while back. Was going to get him an SS box like mine but he's sold on the checkered box and as much as I like my father as well as the SS boxes, dad just doesn't hunt enough for me to justify getting him one of the fancy SS boxes. Aside from that, there are a few small hands around the house and one in particular would destroy it if it got into his hands. Not taking that chance. Anyway, if someone is going that way and would be willing to send one here, it'd make an older fella happy. If not, I'll make the trip myself but he'll ever getting it closer to his birthday rather than Father's Day. Thanks in advance. Feel free to pm me if you're trying to keep from getting inundated with people pestering you and I'll keep it quiet as well.

have you considered another callmaker that you could get to ship to you?

I have but he's got his heart set on a Mabry. I'll figure something out in the end I guess. Might just have to give him the used box.

If you decide to try another callmaker, Dan Harris out of Texas makes a jam up checkered box for $60 to $85 and will ship.  I have a couple of Lonnie's boxes and they are good, but you have to get them at his house and I live 4hrs away.  Dan's boxes are just as well made and sound just as good.
