As in the past years, I will make guitars specifically for the show and I have a couple of cocobolo guitars on the bench right now, an OM and an SJ. I may also be bringing an SD (slope dread.) I am putting together something entirely different for me and working with a customer (who attends the show) to come up with some of the design. I am not sure if that one will make it to the show, but we hope to have a prototype ready.

What day(s) are you going? Was pretty much decided that I won't be there, have family plans elsewhere on Saturday that require a good amount of driving, but Friday could become a...cough...cough...sick day.

[iim7V7IM7]

I will be there Friday, Saturday and a good bit of Sunday (Paul Asbell is demoing my guitar by Bill Comins at 1:30 PM on Sunday http://www.woodstockinvitational.com...?listing_id=37).

Our paths just are not crossing. I have a full day booked already on Friday, so I am afraid Sat. is my day. Depending on how it goes and how long the drive is, I may go back on Sunday if needed...
