Official Luthiers Forum!

I didn't get around too much with my camera but I got a couple. It was great seeing all the OLFer's (Paul W, Paul D, Howard K, John O, Tim M, Jason V, Brock P, David B and I just know I'm forgetting someone) at the show. I think Tim was most successful but we all had fun I think. By the way Tim your guitars are very nice and your workmanship is top notch. I was lucky enough to find a home for one of my guitars and a temporary home for two more in a local dealer in Sonoma. I had a great time at the show staring at Charlie Hoffman's guitars all day across the table. I got to make a lot of new friends and hear some great players so I can't wait to do it again.
Here are the pics, sorry some of them are not too good.

Nice pics, John. Glad you were able to get some interest. The cream will always rise to the top. Wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting.

John

I was asleep next to my wife at 12:30 am.

But that was fun John, we'll have to do it again in a couple years.

That is John and Paul (sounds like an old 60's group I once heard about...)

I don't have a shirt like that.

Hey John, did you get a picture of Hank's advertising campaign? It was pretty cool. It was something like this:

"T-shirts - $5995.00, includes a free guitar"

Actually the price was $3500 for a T shirt and your choice of guitar. Sold 2 T shirts and took an order for another.
But my table must not have been as well placed as I missed meeting many of those mentioned as attendees. Either that or my deodorant failed!

Great marketing Hank. It really caught my eye. If I ever need a new T-shirt you are the man that will get my business
