BMI is certainly still in business. I received a text from Don Fritsche just last week.

Maybe try calling the number listed on his site.

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

Don said to please call him at the number listed on his website and leave a message. He has a day job and may not be able to answer right away; but, he’ll return your call.

He’s a great guy. I love the guitar he built for me.

Mason, did you ever contact Don Fritsche, owner of Beck Musical Instruments?
Yesterday I received a small package of parts I had recently ordered. Very quick turnaround time.
