Thanks guys! I just joined a week ago, so I haven't even gotten my first "Chronicle" yet. So far, I'm planning on a double strong side setup. I'd really like to get my setup sooner rather than later, but I'll do as much "research" as possible. Hopefully, there will be some vendors at the big shindig here in MD in June. I'd like to see as much stuff "live" as possible. I think I'll call up El Paso and Black Hills on Thursday and pick their brains a bit.
This brings me to my next question. I really like the "roughout" look of leather, especially for a "Spaghetti" setup. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to roughout leather? Not many makers seem to offer it. Is there reason why? Is it because it's just a pain in the arse, or is there a more practical reason?
I've heard El Paso can be a bit slow, BUT other than the wait, how is their quality?
Anyone want to show me pics of their rigs so I can get some idears?
Thanks
RS
