Update on Jacks Coco twins!

Since returning from the Montreal show I have been putting the finishing touches on Mark C's Cat guitar and getting it ready to finish. In the mean time I have been working on Jacks Twins. Here are a few shots from today.

Montreal Guitar show Mini concert

My good friend John Creech was set to do my mini concert for the Montreal Guitar show. Unfortunately Johns plane was late getting to his airport, and his connect left before he could have gotten there. Long story short, John was unable to make.
Directly across from me at the show was Mark Blanchard and his friend Steve Wildey. I met Steve last summer in Healdsburg CA, he was kind enough to give us all a personal mini concert on the balcony of our hotel after the show. He played for what seemed to be two hours! Anyways, Steve was kind enough to cover for John and he did one heck of a great job! Steve owns a guitar store in south Florida called Glades Guitars, it can be found on the web at www.GladesGuitars.com.

I will be sending Steve one of my OMFingerstlist models later this year, as he is also a dealer for many well know guitar makers and I am happy to say he will be a dealer for Kragenbrink guitars as well :-)


Here is the first of a few videos I have of Steve.

The Montreal Guitar show!

Well, we are back home now and getting back to normal life after a week in Montreal!
What a great town and what a fantastic guitar show! Kudos to Jacques-Andre.Dupont for creating this great show and Rebecca West for keeping all us builders in the loop!
We had a great show, lots and lots of interest and most importantly, a chance to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. I am finding that THIS is what these shows are all about. Here are a few images that my wife Theresa took.
