Ya, looking forward to mixing it up with builders and players, although I’m a little apprehensive. It will be good to get some constructive critasism. Thanx for the note about shipping, that will save me much trouble. I’ve reached out to Tavi So, kinda funny, had been planing this trip to see my dad in so cal and was planning to do a layover in Seattle to stop in and see you, hadn’t figured it all out yet, anyway this will be great!

Made it to the airport on time , of course tsa had to unpack the guitar boxes/cases, I figured they would but still.. And now this waiting waiting I’ll die in this this Casa Blanca… where was I? Oh ya, first flight TV delayed and so I’ll miss second flight, then I’ll miss my ride to the venue:/ But you know what this is the east part of traveling and who cares? While I’m fungling around online I’ll tell you how I made up my latest golpedar One layer of 4oz/yd carbon fiber cloth laid up on a vacuum plate, next time I’ll do two layers or perhaps an insert just where the top gets hammered. Once I unbagged it I didn’t like how the surface looked, I didn’t extract enough of the resin so it was just a touch lumpy here and there. That was three days ago, today I had some time to kill so I took some 400g paper, red scotch brute, the OOOO SW and it cleaned up nice. Next I brushed a thin even layer of heat activated adhesive we use for aircraft fabric and leg it dry. Using a little hobby iron on its lowest setting I just layed the carbon piece there and tacked it down using one layer of paper towel between the cf and the iron cause and to protect the shellac should I get off the edge. Boom, took about 45 seconds, just loosened the strings cause.

Posted the following on the AR new recording thread but really should be here: Saw AR at the LA guitar show the other day, about row five, close enough to hear his foot tapping… The guy is a beast! One hour thirty minute set and f’ if it didn’t seem like fifteen :/ One ever so slightly sour note and I just happened to be looking right at his face, in fact it might not have been obvious except for the twist in is facial expression. The man is human of course and his usual big smile when he is crushing it, you can tell the stoke he feels is amplified by the occasional jelos (spelling) and the applause between each song, he just kept turning it up one more notch. Some acts just kill it on stage and find it a challenge to transfer that fire to media? I don’t have an answer, less of an opinion, but let me tell you I feel like a fool for not hitting record on my phone that night. HR

No one spit in the ground after handing one of my guitars back to me ;) I noticed a lot of people skipped my guitars, played one from the guy on my left then played on from the guy on my right… it was fairly obvious. But. All the younger players and the teens played my guitars, came back and played them again. It was a stark difference, the half bald guys walked by but the cool kids ate it up. The whole event was positive Tavi had most of it figured out, hung out with a variety of players and builders and I played a lot of guitars. What I didn’t do that I regret is have more of the luthiers play my guitars. Jason Mcguyer played one of mine and gave me a couple pointers and some positive feedback. The evening event where players played one of each luthier guitar was cool. I had to walk on stage and introduce myself and my guitar- I was just about struck stone with fright! The event organizer Tavi played my guitar and no one tossed tomatoes ;) Ethens guitar was a standout for sure but I don’t recall who played his. Jason M played one of his first guitars, hard to say, he could play that cardboard Torres and make it sound a canon ;) The million dollar question is would I do it again? I’m kinda torn, it was vary short notice when I knew about the show so I wasn’t properly prepared, I’ve done a lot of similar trade shows so I’m not a stranger to the idea. I would like to see some luthier demos/classes next time, say 20-30 minute expose by each builder? All and all Tavi put in a grand event and his welcoming hospitality made this small town Alaskan feel welcomed. At some point I was explaining to him a flaw in one of my guitars as he was playing mine, don’t recall what it was, but he looks up at me and says, never make excuses… HR

This is great to hear! Your guitars look amazing, and unique, but probably a step too far for the traditionalists. quote:
