VIGF 2018 - 3 days later
So, home sweet home at the workshop today! It is 00:36 am, I just came back from Vancouver, with my guitars in one piece.
90% humidity at Quebec City, workshop at 42%. Everything is fine. Guitars traveled as good as possible, I haven't opened their case yet but they totally survived to their trip from Quebec to Vancouver, without any detuning. It should be ok. I took a lot of pictures at the Vancouver International Guitar Festival during the last day. Only builders that I know, personally, and who count for me. I didn't have enough time to take every luthiers of the show (I couldn't left my table for too long), and I succeed to take pictures when they were at their table... and it was pretty hard. I will post it tomorrow, I have like around 30 builders (and silly pics, but I will try too avoid them, except for Ben Wilborn because he is too cool) Cheers!

Also, totally agree with Ben, wish we did not live across the country from each other although he probably would not agree with that statement LOL!

Thanks, Ben, for sharing! What was the reaction to your guitar with Higuerilla back and sides, by the way?
