Saw a Taylor hanging in the Laguna Beach Guitar shop once that had that grain. It was Unbelievable. You got lost in the depth of it. Never seen anything like ..... until now.

Well, thats a long story. after escaping from a maximum security military prison, Today, still wanted by the government, i survived as a soldier of fortune. If you have some zoot, if no one else wants it, or if you can't find them, maybe you can hire... The Z-Team.


No seriously though....... i have just been plodding along,with my own smallish luthiery business on this side of the pond, mostly doing jigs fixtures and inlay work. have been involved in some very interesting projects, including 3 guitars for Amy Winehouse, Newton Faulkner, Clive Caroll, Neil Diamond......quite a few actually...........but mostly i just wake up in the morning and bathe in Braz Rosewood dust, kinda like Scrooge Mcduck.

I have been meaning to get over to a GAL convention, as the last one i went to was a blast!

anyway, how have you guys been?

Paddy
