I am so proud.. Here is the raven inlay on it's guitar home being played by it's new owner Johnny Hickman- of Cracker. He has a solo album out now, "Palmhenge" and he loves ravens it seems. This is a video of him getting it presented to him on-stage as a birthday present from his wife who had me do the commission and arrange the pick-guard work, etc.. How cool is that? I hope this isn't seen as off topic, our work has to be be seen somewhere. We almost never see it being used! I am having a good day :0) Link to guitar presentation Thanks Craig Lavin |

Cool video Craig. Contrats on your great work and sale! Yes, I love the feeling of seeing your work on stage being "cut up". One of mine was on stage at Taste of Madison (a flagerent rip off of Taste of Chicago). It's in a country band but he made it sound pretty awesome nonetheless.

That guitar is sweet Paul even if it is in a country music band. 
Funny thing is I never really listened to Cracker in the early 90's except for their hit "low". I think everyone has heard that one. I am expecting a solo project CD from Johnny hopefully soon. His website has samples- I am starting to really like his playing. Still all smiles here in Fl.

Well, Hesh, truth be told, he borrowed it for the weekend. But he's since commissioned one so you can still buy this one.

Great, Craig! Hope he gets it on TV sometime, so people can see your work. Hey Paul! Your archtop looks better in action than it did all by its lonesome. Bet it would be great in a rockabilly setting! Speaking of country though, I bet it would have looked just right in Chester A.'s hands! |
