Wow, thanks man. That means a lot. I'm gassing for a couple of 3-D scans to convert to tool paths, so I can reduce some of the hand carving required. Does that qualify as GAS?Actually, I have to change my mind on something. If I was going to get a really nice acoustic, I would love me one of Frank Falbo's. I played them at NAMM, and they play and sound amazing!
While we're at it, what was SUPPOSED to be my first "nice" guitar was a "Skylark" (Made by Matsumotu, sold thru the JC Penney catalog, of all places.
There was just NO way I was gonna afford a $350 guitar back then (roughly $750 today), all I could scrape together over most of a year was $165, which got me a bolt-neck Hondo LP copy. I did see a red Skylark at the JCP OUtlet store (where the broken stuff goes to die, ha ha) a couple years after I got my Hondo, but it was still almost $200 (and was broken). I see Skylarks on Ebay, but they always go for more than I can afford now.
I have my electric hollowbody out for scan at the moment, auditioning a certain process. Trouble is I keep selling what I make so its down to making time to carve originals.
