I wanted to invite everyone to mosey on over to my new website at www.mayesguitars.com and check it out. I've got new pictures up there as well of the healdsburg guitars.

A new for sale page with three new guitars will be coming later today.

Here are a few pictures of the healdsburg fiddles.

Great look and feel John. I really enjoyed perusing it!! I like the features section. I'm very excited to see these in person next week.

No, but I did hand build the robot that utilizes artifical intellegence that does all the work for me. Fredrick Billingsworth III, as I named him, is very adept at "winging it" when it comes to acoustic design and execution. I'm prodigiously proud of him, and I feel like these new models of guitars are just the proverbial tip of the iceburg when it comes to Mr. Billingsworths skills. My next task is to construct an organic replication of myself and insert Fredricks innerworkings inside the shell so that I can send him to the DMV and have him mow the lawn and all sorts of other hideous activities and all the while I fool people into believing I'm really not a lazy heap of bones.

P.S. If you didn't catch the sarcasm this post script serves as your reminder that it was just that. The short, and more correct, answer to your questions is yes.

Feel free to look through the near 200 photos of me building the guitar with the mosaics. http://gallery.me.com/mayesguitars#100118

I've always preferred guitars made by gifted, hand-made robots anyway.

John,

I checked out your site - nice and easy to navigate.

I didn't see any base prices for your guitars on your site - was that on purpose???

All the best!

They are all there. On every model page on the right hand side.

Thanks

John, It wasn't obvious to me that the photos were links to a more detailed page on each model. A small suggestion might be to make the text titles in the copy towards the bottom of the page links to those detail pages so they are more obvious.

Just a thought.

The sites not working for me. Is it down?

Kindly,
Danny

JohnM · #12 08-03-2011, 05:51 PM

wow... now the site went haywire.... see what happens when I am in control of things....

Now I got to figure it out

JohnM · #13 08-03-2011, 05:58 PM

Seems to be back... for now at least until I do more stuff!

Brackett Instruments · #14 08-03-2011, 06:12 PM

Great looking guitars, and web site.

I've long been a fan of your guitars, John, but right now I'm intrigued most by Billingsworth. I want one!

Not everyone knows your reputation, so I'm assuming that the question about these being handmade was innocent. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and seeing these guitars in person!
