Meet a mate of mine

Perfectionist? Pervectionist!

Beautiful work. Our kids went to the same school. He rebuilt my old CMI Tele.
He’s like The Fly. When it comes to painting a guit, his wife feeds him through a flap in his work-shop door - she only knows that he’s still alive by the empty plates:-)

Hi TonyR:

What a great page…
These kind of guys are so dedicated to their craft and creativity…
I have the same friends over here…
His guitars grew outta having his bass stolen from him from the stage he was playing on…
We used to leave our equipment on the stages we played on if we were set up for a week long stand…
He went to the job one night and all the guitars and mics were gone…
Just-like-that…
Then one day they talked to someone that told them for a kickback he would tell them where they could buy them back if they wanted the gear bad enough…
Sense he was left-handed he couldn’t pass it up…
He bought it back…
The next day he began outfitting his shop to build guitars and basses…




Here’s his page…


I would get a call from him…
asking how I would wire a custom order’d guitar…
These ended up as world class instruments…
I couldn’t believe the work-and-energy that went into building these machines…




I would ask him who was it for…
When he told me I’d say lets call him…
There’s no sense wiring a guitar only to rewire it again…
TonyR…
it never seemed to stop…



The only thing is…
Zane is a southpaw…
Everything is backward to them…
It’s so funny…
I feel sorry for southpaws…

:)


I’ve wired guitars and basses for musicians around the world…
Who’s the Eagle’s guitar player????
I wired one for him…
I wired several guitars for Ann Murray’s guitar player…


Anyway… Here’s a link to one of the hottest wiring jobs I’ve done over there…

I took a piece of timber to a carpenter friend and askedf him to cut a couple of bodies. 6months later, I broached the delay issue with him and he confessed to making two chess bourds out of it - and sold them. Grrhhhhhh!!!

I had a mate who was a left-hooker who played a right-hander, upside down.
It did my head in.
