Finally, I'm able to post a picture of a guitar I made back in 83? maybe. I was in my shop on a Sunday working on a job that needed to get out on Monday and was bored out of my mind. Listening to local radio station, and The Sultans of Swing came on. I liked it from the first time I head it a few years earlier, and got real excited, so stopped what I was doing, grabbed a piece of Alder, drew an outline of a guitar, and cut it out on my bandsaw. I did all that before the song ended, and was playing along with Dire Straits for another 30 seconds or so. For some reason, I couldn't toss that piece or cut it whenever I needed a small piece of Alder for anything needed to complete a job. Thirty years or so and still have it to remind me of how I was so focused on making it in a record amount of time without incident.
So, here tis, my one and only geetar. The drawings of the strings and bridge have faded away, but it still makes me happy when I see it.
OH, BTW, that's a 5x7 Elk antler it's sitting on. They were hanging on a wall, but the day I took the picture, I was in the process of getting my wood burning stove back to working condition after my roof blew off back in August, I accidentally hit them with the smoke stack and they fell about 12 feet, and broke the plaster they were mounted in.
