Finishing the finish on a guitar is just a step somewhere before finishing the guitar   Who is on first?... I love double talk. |

So then, Dave, is the end of the beginning? And when is it the beginning of the end? |

There's a saying among writers, that goes something like this -- A book is never finished until it's in print. As a writer, I can assert the truthfulness of that claim. And as a guitar builder, I find it is equally true. If it is a client's guitar, it isn't finished until it is shipped. If I've built it for myself, however, it is never really finished. Cuz the evaluation and critique process never ends. "Hmmm . . . it could stand a bit more pore filling here, and the neck would feel a bit better if I took just a skosh more off right there . . ." It never ends. Best, Michael |

How many luthiers does it take to build a guitar? Two--one to build it, and one to knock him out before he ruins it! |
