I've been thinking it would be cool to showcase all the "OLF Plan" guitars and the different variations of them that have made using ONLY the OLF Plans. I have to think about this but I would be open to suggestions as to an easy to use, user friendly gallery style software. Id love to be able to see a slide show of guitars, one that I could click through. On each slide could be the makers name, website, a little bit about the guitar, and what OLF plan he or she used. What are you thoughts on this? Anybody game? |

I've got an OM and SJ cutaway I could contribute. |

What would be real cool is to have a main link on the main forum page and also a link in the library of plans that would send the viewer to a gallery of a specific plan set. Might end up being a great sales tool. |

I agree Michael. It would be a great marketing tool. If the instruments were made with parts and/or tonewoods from our sponsors, there could be links to their websites as well. I think it would be good to list the specs and statesomething like. Back and Sides: XYZ tonewood from XYZ Sponsor. Do you thin that sounds reasonable/doable? |

That too but i meant as a sales tool for the plans to benefit the forum. |

I'm all for it. I have a SJ that is ready for the gallery. Sounds like a great idea! |

Yep, that's what I was agreeing to. I think it would allow people to visualize the end product before purchasing the plans. The other was just another avenue consider.

Lance - This is a great idea! Far a newbie who is planning to build and aquiring zoot and tools but who has a hard time putting the artistic ends together this would really help. Also, what about soundclips for each of the guitars? I realize that there would be no a:b comparisons since the recording methods and environments are different but it would give a little idea of what the differences in tone can be. Thanks, |

All great ideas! Sound clips would be awesome! |

Would it be possible to record them at one place under the same conditions? I realize that's a lot of shipping, headaches, etc. but at least it would make for a good comparison. |

That would be pretty much impractical for some of us as for all examples of mine are in the hands of clients spread out all over Texas to Hawaii and I am sure that will be true of several of us. I do have a couple sound clips of 2 of my SJ available. |

Mine too. Just a thought. |

Lance, that sounds pretty cool. I can develop some gallery software specifically for it if you're interested in something more tailored. |
