Getting close to closing the attendee list so that we can order all the food etc. Please reach out if interested.

Some absolutely amazing guitars being built for the show!!!! Up close and very personal experiences with the luthiers and Gerry Humphrey with his acoustic amps!

Stan - I have never seen bracing that had your “suspension bridge” design. Can you tell more about it? Thanks!

Rory Dowling came up with that as a way to have a deep barrel-shape to the back. It allows the back to resist flattening without dampening it very much. At least I think that's the way the reasoning goes. Perhaps Rory (if he hangs around here) could tell us more.

Here's his web-site: https://www.taranguitars.co.uk/

Check out my build thread in the custom shop right now on Taran guitars, it is pictured and explained in that.

Sadly the stars are not lining up for me to appear at BIGer. Well at least it prompted me into getting my passport.

Well there, at least I could do something for you lol!!!

Here is a little tease of part of the evenings entertainment Saturday night. Ben is playing a new guitar he just finished (modeled after my Black Lion I might add) and Brad is playing the prototype Nautilus. Enjoy:

What a pleasant way to get my Saturday night started. Bravo guys! So nice to be one of the first to hear the new tune.

Thanks for posting Tom. Have I told you I can't wait for B.I.G.er?
