I notice at least three luthiers, including myself, plan to bring small guitars to B.I.G. That will make for very interesting observing!
I have finished the 2 Single 0's I plan to bring. I consider them both successful, yet they could hardly be more different, which was my plan. I put a bunch of pictures in my nearby 2018 (chapter 3) thread, and I offer a couple of each guitar for you here as well: |

B.I.G. 2019!!! Program updates announcements!!!!
Good morning Tom...
Here is another guitar that I’m working on for B.I.G. It’s my Solis model (auditorium/0000-size with a 16” lower bout). It has Master-grade Sitka over Cocobolo, with flamed Pyinma purflings, Ebony bindings and rust veneer lines. The rosette is Pyinma burl with flamed Pyinma purfling. IMG_2002.jpg IMG_2008.jpg IMG_2003.jpg IMG_2011.jpg The one-piece Honduran Mahogany neck is almost finished, and I’ve designed and cut out this seahorse (pictured with my headstock logo) to inlay at the 12th fret...

Hey Tom, is Jason Kostal still on board for your shindig? He doesn't seem to post on AGF anymore so there's no teasers from him like those Steve, Bruce and Joel are posting. Not that anything hinges on this - I'm just curious. Heck, I would want to come even if it were an exclusively Sexauer show - or any one of the other guys. Can hardly wait!

Everything is coming together just as I had hoped. This is supposed to be a personable small event where really just a bunch of friends get together and have a weekend of nothing but guitars, music, food, and friendship. So much more personal than the Big Show's, you can see what guitars will be there as well as the makers. I think from what has been displayed so far I could not be happier. And just wait it's gets better as we haven't even seen anything from three of the guys yet!!! And I would be remiss if not to mention the concerts from Bruce , Paul and Cindy, Frog and Toad, and Michael Watts. Oh yes, myself with my stepdaughter and significant other will be the leadoff band regaling you with three songs as well. Now if that doesn't make you sign up I don't know what will LOL.

Sorry about the silence. I'm out this attempt. I have a job interview and might be upgrading.

Wow. Talk about a plan coming together! I hope the "leadoff band" has prepared a fourth song as I envision shouts of 'encore!'. This is fantastic and I hope there will be many pictures to follow! How to go, Tom!

Tom, Do you have any more room? I have a couple of friends in Austin that might be interested.

For sure, they can come. I have been saving about 5 spots for folks in the neighborhood anyway and I actually had a a husband and wife that had to cancel yesterday as other plans came up, so that would work out great to replace them with your friends!

I'm really looking forward to this, if only to see what color pants Michael Watts wears.
Speaking of the indelicate, I've an indelicate question. I'll be doing my Kalamazoo Gals thing, which will include a presentation of still photos and videos of the Gals (including clips from folks playing the went-to-WWII guitar - Rosanne Cash will play it in a couple of weeks). And, if folks wish, I'll ship some books. No pressure. No need to buy one. But, well, I only want to ship as many as folks want. Discount price of $20, signed. These things make great doorstops, trivets, and kindling. Anyway, PM me if you want me to bring a book.
