Official Luthiers Forum!

Seven days till the Columbia get together at my place. As John Hall said in his thread, He'll be here to graciously do some demos, and have some special deals on swag.

I got him to promise not to bring any PA scrapple and head cheese, if we take up a big enough collection for him.

I'll be ready for visitors by 9:00 am, grilled burgers about noon.

It'll be a great opportunity to get or give advice, good or bad.

Feel free to bring anything Luthier related you want to sell or swap.

Show off your projects finished or unfinished.

Everyone is welcome, no matter your skill level!

JR,
Is this just on Saturday or all weekend?

I'm down here in Ft. Benning, GA and have the weekend off. I wouldn't mind coming if you don't mind. Might have to drive down tonight and find a Motel Six.
