Edwinson guitars has also informed me that he will be delivering a new guitar to one of his customers as well at B.I.G. How cool is that?

Two brand new builds being revealed at the first B.I.G. I really could not be happier and I thank luthier and customer alike for coming to the event and sharing their new builds!!! This just adds to all the good things that will be happening!

WOOT WOOT!
I need to add a third reveal: Justonwo has his new Circa coming to B.I.G. also. It is being shipped directly to B.I.G. for the event. Wow, so cool for all of us to see these 3 guitars and their new owners. Sounds like a great photo op for sure!!!

Is anyone going to be in the Austin area before Thursday? Thought that perhaps we could get together and have a brewski or two.

I would think we can figure something out there. I would come down and get you, but I think I might be a little too stressed Sat. AM for that...let's see if someone responds and if not we can try and figure out something.

Ticking down the final hours and minutes now! Joel and I are still busy busy busy, ironing out the last wrinkles, putting travel kits together, crossing t's, dotting i's, and getting all the ducks lined up. Travel day for us is Wednesday. We're renting a car and driving over, stopping Wednesday at my friend and honored patron Ken (and Eilene) Hobbs's home near Lake Charles, LA, staying overnight there, and then driving the rest of the way to this celebration on Thursday.
Joel and I are both bringing three guitars for exhibition, available for adoption to good homes. I am also bringing another, which I'm handing off to Ken- who will also be in attendance at the BIG Show, so that one will debut there too. Amazingly, all six of them are strung up and mostly ready for prime time.

I've been keeping a low profile here, simply because I have been keeping my head down and pulling the plow. It's been quite a marathon. But now I'd like to share some photos of the three guitars I'm bringing for show and sale.

First is an Eclipse OM Florentine, with quilted Bigleaf Maple back and sides, a AAAA German Spruce top, and Katalox (aka Mexican Royal Ebony) everything else. This guitar features arm and rib bevels, dual side sound ports, an Omega open headstock, Shertler Swiss-made tuners, and a 25.5" scale length. Newly strung up, it already has a BIG sound, great balance from bass to mid to upper trebles, lots of sustain, and plenty of headroom for any playing style. As it matures, I'm sure it will really deliver the goods, and make someone very happy. It's already a blast to play.









More pics of the next guitar shortly... Thanks for looking.

Haha. I am really looking forward to some Frog and Toad EAR CANDY.

Not to mention the awesome Wilborn guitars to hear as well as see. And HOLY COW, is this Edwinson pretty, or what? I LOVE the Omega open headstock.

Egads.

Cheers

Paul

I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wilborn, nor have I seen his guitars up close, in person- So I am really looking forward to this. Ben comes across as an awesome, fun to be around, and formidably talented guy, so I'm quite looking forward to this!
