Lots of interesting discussion in the YouTube comments section on this one!
Great video! I agree with all of it but want to add a few of things from my perspective.
1. A lot of people view guitars as “tools”, a means to make art (music), but I view building guitars as also a form of creating art. Maybe I see a body in the showcase and that inspires me to create a design/vision for a cool look.
2. Because of point #1, I find building guitars to be therapeutic. A buddy of mine (not a guitar player) sees a therapist each week. I mentioned to him that I was building a guitar. He said, “Another one?!” I said, “It gives me a form of expression to help cope with life that is cheaper than therapy.”
3. I’m not going to live forever and it gives me something very personal to leave to my kids. “Dad built this guitar and loved it, I saw him play it all the time and it reminds me of him.” I have a couple of things like that which were my dad’s. They’ve already decided who gets what.
Of course, they could be humoring me. They’ll probably just say, “What should we do with dad’s piece of crap guitars he built? Toss ‘em, perfect.”But I can dream.
I like your matching shirt to the Tele/Strat. ;-)
You should go to my family reunion
(I kid).
They are all down there in UT, think it's happening this weekend. I remain aboard the mothership. We'll be taking a vacation shortly.![]()
Looks like they'll be gathering in Herber City at the City Park. If you drive by, those are my people.Haha....a lot of people commented about my "prison" shirt.
Done!
Well, there goes my non-refundable hotel deposit.
Whereabouts? It's supposed to be around 105 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Tell them to bring ice. Hit me up if you're ever in/around Logan!
