Just wondering if there's any interest in guitar builders in southern/eastern Ontario getting together for the occasional seminar/swap/what have you.

I'm just north of Cobourg and would be happy to host if there was any interest.

Lemme know

Steve

You can pit stop at my place, and I can drive from there.

Okay, lemme toss something radical into the mix. Is there anyone who would be interested in PAYING to get together and to learn something?

What if I could get someone like Joshia de Jonge to do a day on French polishing? Or Grit Laskin to show you how to do a Laskin arm rest? Or what about importing Hesh to do a class on setup?

I'm not saying I can pull this together, but I'm just trying to get a sense of what the interest may be out there.

And btw, this wouldn't be a profit making venture on my part. Any cash would be strictly for the person doing the teaching.

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Just for the sake of argument, call it 200-250 per person.

Too rich? Depends on the subject?

Lemme know.

From a beginners view, I would be more inclined to attend if there was an opportunity to learn. I really wouldn't have much to contribute in a "get together" environment.
Meeting Hesh would be fun.

If it was going to be a paid event it would entirely depend on the topic and who was presenting it. I'd be willing to pay 200 or so if it was something I was interested in.

Just a thought, but you may not get as many pro builders if you are charging money like that for something pros may not be interested in.

If Tony will work for beer, I'll bring my girlfriend Stella, and a bunch of her sisters!

An arm rest clinic would be great!

Then I'll supply lunch for everyone. You can bring your own sisters and cousins and whatnot :-)

:-)

I'm kinda thinking October, cause lots of people are unavailable in July and August, and the Exotic Woods guitar day is mid-September. Let's arbitrarily say Oct 17, the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Any immediate thoughts?

Steve
