I sent this guitar to my friend Blane Ebersold a gaijin who lives in Nagoya. He’s got a guitar of mine with a 630mm scale so I want him to compare. If he has time he might photograph it, he’s a top flight amateur photographer with better cameras than me. I was trained at photography in art school and I know all about it, but I don’t have the gear or the passion of a true photographer. Funny, I worked as a fashion model in my twenties and it was ok money, but I dislike being photographed. After I worked as a model I traveled out to Micronesia, one of the little known places in the world at the time. I purposely didn’t photograph anything really because I was adamant about not being a hypocrite, photographing others while not liking myself to be photographed. In retrospect I think this was a principled viewpoint, but a lost opportunity. Today I have the same situation, secluded place in western Japan. I don’t make bones about the secret fishing spots I hike to because I don’t want idiots coming here. I like being the only human being on a pristine white sand beach that’s 2 kilometers long. In Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo the tourists are unbearably stupid looking to me, I don’t want them here. 😂 I digressed, Blane maybe able to make a recording of this guitar, and after that he’ll walk it over to my dealer, which happens to be a few train stops from his house. I’ll get raked over the coals by the owner of the shop I’m sure. They are very tardy with the positive comments 😆- they like my guitars, but it would hard to tell by how they talk. Faint praise, it’s a good thing I believe in myself.
