Not sure what happened. But, I could not log on. Lance was great! He tried tinkering with it but either there was a ghost in the machine or my stupid was in high gear. Either way, while starting over I figured I would switch to my real name. Yep, Kitchen. John Kitchen. I have a brother named Den, and a Dad that had a wicked sense of humor.
I have been self employed as a Pro Photographer for over 25 years. I could never use "Kitchen Photography" Too specialized. I came up with the lower case "i" thing 23 years ago as a biz called iSimon PHOTOGRAPHY. If I only had snagged the lower i case thing! BUT - as a guitar builder my name could make me dough! "Every one has a Living room guitar..... now you need a Kitchen Guitar!"
Anyway, I sold 1 (my 3rd was a commission). I have 2 on order (kinda 3) and as my I want to build project I started building Tenors.
I would like to do a production of eight+. If they are up to snuff I will sell them. If not, donations/promotion...... I got the first one to finishing in under 1 month. Till then each build I have done has been a year. 9 months frozen in fear (studying) 3 months working slow. #1 Tenor taps like she will sound great. I will find out soon enough. #2 I am Jigging much more as opposed to winging it.
Here is #1 Leapord Wood, Crazy Bear Claw Sitka (Thanks Todd!), Walnut / Oak neck
Questions;
If you have built a Tenor... Tips?
I bought a "Tenor Tailpiece off of eBay. Its comical. I read the title but not the 4" Length thing. I ended making my own tail piece. While happy with the result, IS THERE ANYWHERE to score Tenor Tailpieces?
Thanks. Glad to be back!
