@boo Agreed, in-person in a workshop would be ideal... but alas, here we are! Can't wait to travel, and get in Mark's shop one day for a live build!

Posted by: @jaxty I now settle in with a nice old-fashioned in my glass and some video lessons! Cheers to Carol and Mark for making these courses available. @jaxty Yep, that’s the spirit! 😉&...

Posted by: @jaxty I needed better advice or a better plan. I committed myself to sign up as a premium member as soon as I could afford it (during current times), so I could re-do my build step by st...

@jaxty Cool. I love Cape Breton. Me and the guys all gather once a year at a golf course on cape breton island for a fun filled golfing/drinking/guitar playing weekend. It's always a blast. My wife ha...

@bpower Thanks! I grew up on the east coast (Cape Breton Island). I love the east coast! I'll retire down there in a few years, hopefully!

Welcome @jaxty. I'm on the east coast of canada, the border between NS and NB. We need more Canadian content on here. This could be a slow Canadian takeover. And we won't be sorry. 🙂

Hello Friends, Hows your new year, due to covid not able to visit anywhere outside of the country .

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas All! Thank you Mark and Carol for giving us a wonderful experience and may we all have a blessed New Year!

Sounds great...the video you posted is too good.

The rosette is rather fun @jonhodgson It’s cosmic 🌟💫

@BooThe Phil McKnight one could so easily have been tacky and gaudy if they'd overdone any element (glitter paint and gold leaf sounds like something Elvis would have played in his Vegas days, probabl...

A thick flake coating would probably not be a great idea for the top (might work fine for the sides though, Ovation have made theirs out of composites for decades after all), but I wonder if a light c...

I saw him years ago at the first Holy Grail Guitar Show in Berlin, I didn’t say hello but watched him talking to people. He was pretty animated and very German! 😆 @mattbeels Sounds like fun. ...

Being serious - briefly - I'm guessing that the silver sparkly paint, or any paint, on the soundboard of an acoustic would suppress the vibration of the soundboard and so destroy the sound of the inst...
