I'm going to write about my trip to Minamata this week, I'll talk about the things you asked about. Meanwhile perhaps we should not get to out there again on this thread. Thank you Stephen for supporting my thread, as usual you guys keep it going when I have little to say about my Spanish factory venture. I actually enjoy reading about your life style in Japan, and if you decide to open a new thread about it, then I will most likely have to view it with great interest :-) Like many guitar makers I have built guitars over half my life in relative obscurity, until these past years, when things started opening up with sales to music companies, etc. It seems that this method of exploiting my work had a definite effect, with stores advertising my product... world wide. But I have to admit, the competition is fierce. There are so many guitar makers out there that it is anyone's guess that us old guys won't be forgotten in the annals of time. And its nice to know that we can still build and sell what we build, but its time to share what we know, for the benefit of others who have a passion for the art. Stephen, you have passed me with your knowledge about so many things, that I feel small in comparison with your out look and ability to manage so many different things, musically......I see so much potential in your life.
