Hmmm... I think you're right. Smart man!

Tom, I am glad you like the guitar. As far as the badges go here is part of what I wrote about these badges last year.

If I were to do this AGFrs could pick them up at my table so this sort of thing could be seen as ploy to get people to come to see my guitars and in a way I suppose that is true, but it more about being part of the AGF community. For years I had some little AGF keychains, hopefully I can have a few more of those this year too.

Darn, I forgot to give out the keychains, I guess you guys will have to come to the shop to pick them up (another ploy)

To further the ploy you could shape the badge like your headstock to engrain it subliminally to those that see it! Though only took me a few lightly strummed chords to know you had some special guitars there!

A little far to get a keychain, unless it was a special edition , "Tree" mahogany one...

I think they should be torrified.

Congrats, Tom! I spent some time chatting with John at the show in 2015, such a down-to-earth really nice guy. And his guitars were beautiful! That figuring on the back of that guitar is stunning, and I love the out-of-power tone report!

Thanks Mike, Just another reason we have got to figure out how to get together soon. I would love for you to get your hands on this and the Hatcher, but be prepared for urges you will have trouble controlling (hopefully for the guitars and not me )

Tom quite a stable you're building! Wish I met you and other AGFers... was there most all day Saturday and Sunday.

Yes and yes, that was one of my disappointments, ie. not running into other than one AGF person...and believe me, the stable growth was not planned...it just happened somehow...

I think we need a supplemental method of identification... cereal box whistle? Burger King crown? Vulcan hand gesture? Practice in the Force?

Good idea, good I add possibly wearing patient gowns as we all need treatment for this obsessive condition we seem to suffer from....we could recognize each other via the gown and the spittle coming from the corner of our mouths as we drool over some luthier table....

Matthew, were you up at Woodstock? I wished I met more members, though it was cool to meet the member/builders and personally see and play some of the guitars I first saw here....
