Members Freeman Keller Posted December 27, 2018 Members Share Posted December 27, 2018 We discussed all the reasons not to do it. Sometimes we do things that don't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danocoustic Posted January 8, 2019 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2019 'mack, that's how he rolls. Bottom line, it's my money and my & Freeman's project. We want to share it with the brethren (and sisthren, such as they be),and most seem to want to share in it. So it shall be! Yeah, I made that word up.

Members Danocoustic Posted January 8, 2019 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2019 Congratulations and good luck' date=' Dano. It sounds like a pretty straight forward bill. Are you sure you don't want a hog top though?[/quote'] Thanks! Already have a guitar with a 'hog top, buddy. Short-scale pawn shop prize I got years ago for $50 or $60, well-made, plays and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 Well, Idunno's remarks may seem a bit of a downer but they are true nevertheless; you never know until you play the thing. Dano, I hope your ears hear what they want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Neal Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 Bucket list commission...check. Done that, given away. Freeman's skills notwithstanding, and not to be the uber-stoic on these commissions (just to be curmudgeonly; a hobby), beware the expectation versus the revelation. Freeman's can't dig from your ears and shape-shift it into a guitar. No one can. I made similar material requests on an OM and got exactly what I spec'd. After a year and 3K I received a guitar I'd normally put back up on the wall at a GC, unmoved by it, but in my case there was more than a little disappointment at work. But, some chance of fate put a rather talented and financially struggling single parent kid across my path who took that guitar home paying only a token thankyou into my philanthropic coffers, plus a hug from his mom, neither of which was needed. So reserve the giddy expulsion of the muse until you're on the back side of your review. Sounds like a great project, and y’all gotta admit it’s cool when it happens from a venue like this. A few things that are most likely certain- a fair price, solid craftsmanship, and for the forum, some build porno. And if you aren’t moved by it in the end, it’s always the case another will be. Everyone wins. I know the feeling of anticipation you have, and it’s like xmas, Hanukkah, and your 16th and 21st birthday rolled into one when the postman shows!

Members Neal Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 I disagree, a thank you was needed. The hug from mom was optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
