Did those crazy luthiers kick you out?
They're sick and tired of sweating bullets and we bumble in about factory planks.
I love reading their section. It's like reading letters from great artists. But being actual artists, we won't be falling into their lair until they're all dead and they were too drunk one day and pasted in the wrong labels.
I don't want a Faulk. I want an unsigned copy made in China, after he's too dead to care.
I want a Ray a Faulk and a ton of others here. And I want Tom Blackshear to fine tune them while the luthiers are tied up and made to watch.
Seriously, I thought you already got all the answers one might expect before they booted you. Why not just get someone to forge The Signature?
Please don't get me wrong. This is a good thread. Some people (many luthiers and the few dealers who have graced this forum with forensic anayses - using only fuzzy pics and chat as clues) here have recorded astonishing, and seriously valuable information. They're the people the Antiques Roadshow consult; if they have sense.
I think the dealers may have been driven off because they mark up guitars. It makes no sense.
What is the Signature of a guitar? Get Tom to forge the sound for a grand (he's a Reyes dude tho) then get yer phone out and forge the signature.
I've already bought two guitars on the internet without ever touching an example of either.
Get the signature done, mark it up, get it past a dealer of my choice. Let him mark it up. Then I'll buy it and cherish it and never sell it.
There is something about factory guitars (well-run factories) that I like.
Luthery seems to be the hardest business in the world. But your grandchildren get to make out like bandits, maybe.
Just some random thoughts while bored on a train.
(The iphone suggestion meant sending the right shape of ink, digitally. You would need a proper forger, like maybe Donald Pleasance before be went blind, to get it past this crowd.)
