New Design Page
I've finally reworked the Information section to include Design and Pricing pages. I don't have all the current designs computerized yet but there is a lot there to see and read about for the time being.

I spent the last two days driving around the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Foothills trying to find a Roland synth unit to test Dave Kuzy's guitar. None of the local guitar stores had anything so I finally had to post a topic on Craigslist trying to find someone local with a VG88 or GR33. Thanks to everyone who offered help, I ended up taking Robbi Spencer's advice and contacted Ed TenEyck. Ed was nice enough to let me use his synth unit for a few minutes and for that I am very grateful.

In other news my friend and I found another Burl table at the local Salvation Army. This one is huge and covered in epoxy. We started with a chisel, quickly moved to a scroll saw, then a sawsall, then an electronic chainsaw... still haven't made much progress. Eventually I'm going to get a gas chainsaw and hopefully get this thing taken apart. It looks like there will be about 6-8 carve top sets in the table. If any of you builders out there want to pull a crazy burl top out of this table's yield just let me know.

I needed a new 25k audio pot this week and since no one in Auburn had one it gave me an excuse to visit Son Father Guitars in Rocklin for the first time. I talked to the owner Dave Cassotta for a while and he seems like a really nice guy with a great setup. He's got his grown kids working with him in the shop, how cool is that?!

Last but not least, if you're a member of MySpace or deviantArt you can add me to your friend's list using these links:
