Yeah it seems that way. It really does.

In the months since I introduced my original guitar design, and more specifically the last couple of months, people have begun to find me and asking if I can fix this or that on a guitar. I’m literally blown away by some of what’s been happening.

Last Friday I met a guy halfway and picked up an ancient banjo from him. He lives about 60 miles from me. He’s asked me to clean it up but it could end up as a restoration. That scares the crap out of me too.

But he lives closer to a big city than I do AND there’s at least 3 instrument stores between me and him. I had to ask him how he found me though and he said, “something popped up on Facebook…,”

🤯

I’ve boosted 1 post and that’s it. Cost less than $20 for 5 days. Did he see that? Probably not as it was weeks later when he contacted me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ dunno but I guess now I have to say thanks to FB. Man that is going to be a bit difficult. 😂

✌🏼❤️😁

@tv101 actually the banjo guy is my 4th. And I have sold 2 guitars. But that’s all local and people I know. The banjo guy though is 60 miles away. That seemed significant and perhaps an indication that 2023 may be an awesome year for me and guitar making and repairing. 😁
