Hi everyone,
I am new here and I would like to say this is one Great Site. I love to see other people’s creations because it gives me ideas on how to perfect my guitars.
Here’s just a quick synapse of who I am.
I started building when I was 14 and now I am 41 with 2 young children and an 18 year old step child in college. My wife is a stay home mom who takes care of the children while I work and work and work. Finding time to build these days is literally impossible. So I am forced to living vicariously through others until I can get back to fulfilling my luthier needs. Don’t get me wrong, I would gladly give up luthier if I were asked to choose it over having a family.
I look forward to seeing other people’s creations and hopefully find some new ways to skin a cat.
Rich S
