Wow, what an inspiration to us wanna be's! How long have you been building guitars?   Or is this a gift you were born with?

[QUOTE=Anthony Z] Whoa .... tastier than Deluxe french fries and a chicken on the bun (a little Sudbury humour).[/QUOTE]

Reminds me of a Restaurant where i didn't leave any tips, after i asked the waitress if it was soup i saw on the menu, she said yes, i says well, what are you waitin' for, wipe it up!

AZ - tastier than all that .. whoa man I'm not so sure ???? !!!! So how many did you have ??

Havent been up to Sudbury in a LONG time .. but I can still taste that chicken ... get extra sauce !!!

Thanks to all who have admired and given such kind praise of my efforts. All I can say is practice, contemplate ideas and methods, and then try to execute. Thats I how I got here. I have no formal training .. folks always ask who taught me. Well, no one really, but then again everyone. I have peered over the shoulders of some mightly fine builders, asked a lot of questions in other builders shops, read a lot of info, and sort of put it all together on my own. Mostly I am influenced by the canadaian builders - Grit Laskin, Jean Larrivee, Serge deJonge, Gord Barry ...

For those who dont know, I started my first acoustic in 1999 (built a bunch of electrics as a hobby before that), then went to a full time thing in 2001 after being booted out of telecom twice the same year. Funny how some things just seem to work out.
