This morning, I spoke to François on the phone. He contacted me again after a long time, during which I had not heard from him. He apologised profusely and seemed almost contrite, but there is a good reason why he took so long to respond and did not communicate: he fell ill, underwent surgery and had to recover. All of this led to an immense backlog of work, which he is now gradually catching up on and completing. Unfortunately, it was not possible for him to provide any information during this time.
François works as a one-man show. He did briefly employ his brother as a temporary assistant for a short time, but this could not fill the huge gap left by his illness.
I offered to post this information here. For my part, I am very happy that he is well again and can continue to create his wonderful Pickguards.
