sMg Guitars

June 14, 2008

Went to the GAL exhibit in Tacoma with Carl. We spent about an hour perusing the exhibits, which included luthiers and suppliers. Stew Mac and LMI were there along with a bunch of tonewood suppliers. If I was looking for particular woods that I wanted to hold and select, this would have been perfect. But, in the end, the only purchase I made was for some nicer paua for the rosette for the koa parlor.

I met Charles Fox and Denise Fox, who will host the guitar building seminar I attend next week. Seems they’ve had a last minute cancellation (anyone out there want to attend? See my ASL link for more info). Saw Rob Girdis, and a whole range of instruments from the simple to the ornate, from questionable quality to exceptional quality.
