I’m blogging because…

Where I’m writing from (the workshop is a lot prettier than my office)

Hi again,

I should say something about what this blog is about and what you might hope to get out of reading it.

I have started this blog as a way of sharing knowledge and having some fun with the guitar world.  I’ve done some great travel as a guitar maker and this is a kind of continuation of those adventures.   Since my time and travel budget are both limited, I hope this blog will allow me to easily interact with other people as I sit at my desk in Upper Brookfield.

As someone who has been making guitars for over twenty years I am planning to start some discussions that draw upon the learning and technical insights that I’ve gained.  There are so many topics on construction, design, tone….and why I do what I do, in the way I do it.   I’ve spent a lot of time listening to guitarists play and talk, in order to develop an instrument that satisfies them, and also myself.   I spend a lot of time working on my own, and I’d like to talk about the things I uncover and achieve while I build my guitars.

I’m yet to figure out how to enable comments to the blog! Luckily my brother does some web construction work and he should be able to help me out – when he gets back from his two week sojourn in the States.
