I am one who likes a lot of interaction with my client, and Steve is a dream come true in this sense. We have talked several times a week for months now. One of my claims is that the more contact I have with the Father of the guitar, the better the fit will be, quite beyond the mere specifications. This one should be a doozie.
Today I am participating in a little local guitar show. I say little because it's right around the corner from where the Healdsburg Guitar Festival will be and has a similar name, Sebastopol Guitar Festival, but it is the first attempt by musician and promoter Kevin Russell and has far fewer luthiers etc. Stevie Coyle and Michael Dowling will be playing music there, and I saw them just last week in a Jam Session at the Luthiers Consortium presentation which also included luthier Michael Dunn; some of the best extemporaneous music I've ever witnessed. If you're near Sebastopol today I hope to see you. Might be bigger that I think, by the way.
Then on Monday I get to work!
