Official Luthiers Forum!

Sitting here last evening around 10:00 pm watching the Pistons kill SA, knock knock knock -- Its Don Williams, Mark Joy, Mike Mahar, John Osthoff, Tom Dowey and Steve Spodark. What a cool surprise! So we broke out the geetars and did a little playing.


Don, Mark and Steve.

Hey Lance,

Look forward to meeting you and others today. I am just
waiting for Tracy to get up and then we are heading over.

Looks like fun...Don could use a little sun on those legs.

Need more photos!

Show us the mugly ugs, er I mean ugly mugs, er I mean the faces that we know only by name.

Also, point a camera at the piles of wood at the vendors, and really drive us crazy!

Well, Here's a couple of pics from Thursday.
Terry Stowell, John Hall, Robbie O'Brien, and Tracy Lavesque in front of Blues Creek Guitars (John Hall's booth, and his guitar)


And our buddy Don Williams


What a great time, I bought a good bit of wood and talked a good bit with Bob Cefalu, and the Robersons. (Thanks guys, I feel better about being in debt.)

I'll take some more pix on Saturday, but others have better camera/connections. As far as pix of zoot, well someone surely will post. I can post what I got, but that's all for now.

Lance, I'm coming down looking for you dude!

Whoa...nice guitar 'ol Don is holding. Somebody should buy that.

Hey Simplyhere,

I was just reading your first post when I realized, the wife and I will need to book a trip to the Bahamas to deal with that situation. Unfortunately, now that you've made me aware of the problem, I need to charge a lot more for that guitar. Oh well, just passing the resultant costs on down the line to the consumer I guess.

   More fun wasn't possible. It was great to see all the OLF'ers and set a real face to the name. To all and Lance , Thanks this is a great site. I heard great compents about this place all week at the show.
    I am falbergasted at all the people the looked me up. What more can I ask from a great hobby. Glad I can contribute in a small way.
Yours
JOHN HALL

Well I saw Don's legs in person and it would take a good month in the Bahamas to get some color in them there legs.

Who besides me got to see Dons guitar? I was very impressed at the fit and finish, excellent miters and that Sitka top, Sheish! Silky!

Great work Don! Seriously, thats a lovely guitar bud!

When I took that pic, I was impressed how he converted it from a four string to a six string (his website showed only 4 tuner holes)That was probably a good decision Don :)

Lance you wouldn't believe the action on this thing. It played as if didn't even have any strings. Elixirs. HA! I think not!
