Here is a couple videos of 2 of the guitars I displayed at the Montreal Guitar show, Ken Bonfield did a great job playing them for me. Ken was a busy guy at the show as he did 6 or 7 other mini concerts over the 3 days. These were taken with my Sony camera so not the greatest quality. There are a total of 4 videos from the show posted on my youtube, but I will only post the link to the 1st one on each guitar. One of the greatest thrills of building is listening to real good pickers playing your instruments.

One of the great things about Ken is his attitude toward the mini-concerts: he's not there to show off his licks, but to showcase your guitars. He really tries to play something that will sound good on the instrument, and to point out the advantages. I particularly liked the way the harmonics rang out on 'Little Martha'. Sweet guitars.

My thoughts exactly Al

Ken is also a real great person to be around, we were facebook friends for about a year and it was great to finally meet him in person and spend some time talking guitars and music. I was aware of his music so it was an easy choice to get him for the mini concerts. If I did not have guitars on display I would have spent a lot of time at the concerts and as it was I caught a few while the wife was watching my table.

Fred: Congrats, two very nice guitars. I really like the sound of the Black Limba. So smooth and clear. Great job.

Nice guitars! I especially like the narrow waist, as I'm one of those men of a certain age. Please build more!
