Ha! I swore off any and commissions, you know, until the next one comes my way. The last one had me plugging and redrilling string holes in the bridge. Not that bad really. The previous one came back to me when the guy said a friend told him it wasn’t worth what I charged him… got the call today from the gallery I sell my guitars that it just sold, for $2k more then I had sold it origanly, so screw him ;) Told the boss the other day when she asked if I didn’t need to focus on my market to sell more, I told her I had recently decided that I was building guitars for me and no one else, if they love one of my guitars enough to pay the $5k plus I’ve decided they and my time are worth then so be it, if not no worries, I’ll get by washing dishes in my ladies restraunt or cleaning rooms and making beds in our rental cabins, it’s all the same to me. Bla bla bla… I get the need for venting… it’s been an odd last few years for all of us hasn’t it? Just finished a couple Flamencas I’m really proud of, but had to go away from the shop for a couple weeks to take care of some other business, didn’t string up the second one yet, super cited to get back and get them on, and I’ve got a 650mm spruce classical in the wings, neck done, back joined, ribs thicknessed, top candeled and ready to join, ha ha haa, still excited about what the next will sound like, how will she play. The 666mm spruce Flamenco I just finished plays so easy with the king scale but I’m not sure why, feels like a 650? I like the challenge, none of this is easy, and ya I screw up here and there often enough, think I mentioned already how I glued on a side of back kerfed linings with the kerf out on the back… I still don’t get how I did that???? Ya, old man problems for sure! ¡Olé! HR
