Official Luthiers Forum!

Went and visited my Friend Keith yesterday. All I can say is man-o-man has he got one cool shop! HUGE! I was amazed by his shop. It is a seperate building next to his home and it is perfect! I would LOVE to have this shop.

Keith you are one lucky guy! But then again for those of you who know him...he sure is one heck of a nice guy...he Deserves all he has! Keith is so generous and nice...he spent the whole morning showing me all the cool jigs, great machinery, and talking about how to improve the whole build process. I also got a chance to play his beautiful, flamed maple, Parlor guitar. Oustanding craftsmanship...played beautifully, perfectly intonated, sounded even better...I wanted to buy it!

Anyway here are a few pics from my visit with Keith. THANKS KEITH!

p.s. Notice the fridge! He even has his own Ice machine on the back porch...WHAT A SET UP!

p.p.s. He only lives about 45mins from me...If I'm not in my shop you know where to find me!

















After my visit at Keith's, We went to see Master Luthier Bozo (pronounced B0-Show). I'll post some pics of this in a bit...UNBELIEVABLE is the only way to describe it ... THANKS AGAIN KEITH!

Talk about a shop i'd really love to work in! WOW!
Thanks again Dave!

Thank you Dave for your kind words.Your visit was a real pleasure for me and I hope you will repeat. I plan to accept your invite to re-visit your shop as well. Bozo was very pleased to meet you and enjoyed our visit to his shop. I spent a couple of hours this morning helping him submit pictures and info to Lark Books they are planning a book on High end guitars and they want his included.
The OLF is such a great community and meeting face to face is a real treat.
