Congratulations! Fantastic idea and I so wish I could see the show. As you said, never underestimate Linda.

I hope to see more video or photos of the guitars and builders.

David, is there any plan (or attempt to plan) an event with all of you together?

Or, short of an event... how many of you are going to pay a visit on opening day?

I can't wait to soak in the full documentary and to see the guitars.

I have an old issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine from 1995 (Issue 31) that has a fantastic feature on Jean and a number of you who he passed on the tradition to called, "Learning the Trade." You're in it! Along with Linda, Grit, etc. It's such an incredible piece.

I was actually just flipping through it the other day. I had it out while I was watching Jeff Traugott's presentation for TAMCO. The same issue has a really good documentary on one his builds.

I'll hopefully be able to post photos of the full guitars after the show starts ... I've certainly taken enough shots of them!!!

Hey Dennis ... thanks! Like I said at the start, I wish it was the Group of Seventy-Seven because you definitely would have been in it too!

We're all going to be there for the opening on May 6th ... even the Larrivee's. Should be fun!

Your "tease" photos are beautiful, and hint at some amazing luthiery!
As a visual artist and educator, I so appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship you custom builders are putting forth.
And I can dream of maybe one day commissioning a build

Just saw the article in the latest Acoustic Guitar Magazine by Patrick Sullivan about our Group of Seven Guitar Project ... great to get some press!
