Rabs Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I did the guitar show today.. Was ok. Not the busiest but I talked to enough people got lots of good feedback which is always nice and maybe a possible custom job or two, we will see about that. But I got this one shot today which I think says it all.. I didn't even realised I had captured it and it put a smile on my face :) When someone tries out one of your guitars, that's what you want to see.

Rabs Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Rabs, that has to be pretty satisfying. your guitars look great. extremely impressive. Yes... And I can tell you what happened.. He was playing the guitar clean and then I got my phone out to take a picture, what you see there is him playing the first distorted power chord :D totally had no idea I had captured it till I got home. Also that guitar he is playing is like the fourth or fifth guitar I ever made and my own design.. That guitar gets a surprising amount of attention.. I may have to make more of that shape soon. Do a burst version :unsure: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Very happy to see those pix. About the 1st one with the smiling guy: I had not seen that guitar before. I really like the contrast of shape and tele hardware. Glad you made the show. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guitar actually gets so much attention and I think its cos as you said, the mix of stuff I have going on with that design.. If I keep going I will have to make some more of those.

MichaelT Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 That's so amazing that you have the talent and creativity to design and make those guitars. I would love to play one some day. That reaction was perfect. It was an "Oh yeah, that's the sound" kind of look. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Very well done! Cheers.. This is actually the 6th show I have done, its just that I couldn't work for the last year or so due to family issues and this was my first one since I had to stop.. So it was good to be back at it.

Tman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Congrats! That first one looks like the perfect size and doesn't look too heavy (my criterion these days). Would love to try one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Congrats! That first one looks like the perfect size and doesn't look too heavy (my criterion these days). Would love to try one! Cheers man. Yeah, its surprisingly popular... Funny thing is the reason I made my first few designs so compact was because that was the size wood I had at the time :D I was also thinking of making a larger sized version... I call that shape the Hammer (not to be confused with Hamer :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Whatever floats your boat :) Sorry I couldn't resist. In all seriousness if it turns out to be a popular model and it was built by necessity that way because of what was available then that could be an unintentional great result.
