Missing Inaction?

Upside Down
Boy You're Burnin' Me

Well, as I said the other day, this week is going to be a bit of a missing-inaction kind of time, as family bobbins means I will be out and about a fair bit and there is no chance of any 'progress' as such.

Just thought I'd mention it as if anybody happens to buy one of the guitars, it means that they won't be dispatched until next week - just thought I should point that out...

I am, after all, very professional.
(La la la, ahem)

Of more interest, to me at least, I've now got all the parts I need for The Old Burny One, and everything is en route for The Porn Shop One, which is kinda exciting.

Mr What suggested a Bigsby for it, in the comments, which I'll have a look at, as it might be a nice option. I've tended to avoid them so far, which is odd as I love how they look/sound and I can't really explain why. Hmmm...tempting.

As for other things, it is quite liberating to have caught up on the recent flurry of guitars. I'd been planning most of them since last year, and had parts all over the place, which is cool, but not, err, 'popular' locally. Once the last few are finished, it will hopefully be a bit more one-at-a-time, which is cool, though there will be less guitars, which maybe is or maybe isn't. Depends on whether you want one, I guess.

I've also been asked a few times recently whether I'll take deposits on un-finished guitars, as I know a few people have missed out here and there and I guess would like to make sure they are first-in-the-queue. I don't think I can do that though, as it puts a bit of pressure on me to finish them - which takes the fun out of it - and I guess people would like to have some input into 'their' guitar, which again spoils it for me. Call it selfish if you like, me? I call it art sugar. (La la la)

The truth is, I'm not cut out for doing custom orders, life is too complicated and it kills the buzz. I think Geoff and Andy will verify that...

But there we are, I always say you have to be quick if you want one of these guitars, and it is pretty much true. Most of them go in a few days, which means I wear a lot of black and look mournfilled most of the time... Whatever a mourn may be.
