"ACADIANA" or Acadian ?

I think he does mean "Acadiana" (made by Leland Colligan), a couple of which have shown up on Craigslist in recent months (see link).

Just a brief update. Thanks for all the responses. Last Friday I visited Jr Martin, John Doucet, and Marc Savoy. I was lucky enough to spend some time with each of them and play their boxes. I never got in touch with the guy selling the Acadiana (NOT Acadian) but he was in the 985 area code so didn't fit with the rest of my trip. I dropped off my Landry with Jr for more repairs. Af the last stop with Marc, after I tried one of his, I decided his is the one for me. He promised it by April/May so I will let y'all know when I get it.

It is always good to make a decision.

Hope it works out for you.

You did good Sam.
