Craig's Shoulder Replacement

After 30 years of serving the southeast's musicians as the premier luthier with the big heart, it's WAY beyond time for Craig to finally have the right shoulder replacement that he's been needing for nearly a decade, before it's too late for a replacement to be possible. The physical demands of fretwork, large and small restoration and modification projects, guitar finishing, building (and on and on) has taken its toll on his right shoulder joint and the surgeon has warned him that a further delay could result in the inability for his shoulder to be restored to functionality and comfort. Craig is in constant pain that has only continued to worsen with time. However, this surgery comes with a high price and a LONG recovery period.  Owning his own business, servicing a massive number of guitars in any given week and working for long hours daily with no time off has meant that it's been nearly impossible to set aside at least 2 months of no work for Craig to recover and heal. The pain has become unbearable and the surgery is now scheduled for early October, without further delay being possible. Given the level of deterioration, it's impossible to know how long it will take to heal and be restored to functionality through physical therapy.  But we all know that Craig will be back to work as early as he physically can. The funds that you kindly donate will make it possible for Craig to take the necessary time away from work so that he can get back to his bench at the guitar shop with a pain-free shoulder joint.  After all the years of going far above and beyond for his friends and clients, it's time to give back to the guy who keeps Charlotte (and beyond) strumming!
