This might be the prettiest guitar I ever made. People keep telling me that. I was gonna keep it for myself. I am an avid player. But I fell in love with NightCat #5351. So I hope you don’t buy that one, cause… then I’ll have to decide. I just might part with that one. I have a lot of guitars I’ve kept that I’ve built. I really don’t need another one. Gosh, sometimes they are just SO nice.
I have a jazz quartet that rehearses here in our studio, and I pass them around to fellow pickers.. I compare them. I dial them in, truss rod, set up stuff, pickup height, etc. And so often I just want to keep it. And then off they go, like lost friends, never to be heard from again. Does it break my heart? Well, sort of, but I love this thing I do, and I have a wife, and I need to make a house payment, and I am 72 years old!! How did that happen? And then I build another one. I think you better buy this thing pretty quick before I change my mind 😊
