I spoke with John today and he ran a couple calls for me over the phone. I just wanted to take a minute to brag on him and his calls. He was very easy to talk to and very honest about woods to use for a call, striker choices, and broke down the differences in his playing surfaces. I pulled the trigger and ordered an Gaboon Ebony 3.25 Titanium pot call. Im really excited to hear it and see it. He promised the call to be shipped within about 2 to 3 weeks even with the hussle and bussle of Christmas. If your on the fence about buying one of his pots, get off the fence and call him. He will run them for you over the phone. Ill report back when I get the call.
