Another Day

Well, still waiting for the parts to finish the Beano One, I've completely knackered the Glistery One and generally wondering what to do next.

La la la.

And then I happen across another bit of Paisley cloth.

*sigh*

I've got a haberdashery problem
I know.

Ghosts In The Machine - Delta Guitars

One thing I try to do with this wee blog, is flag up other interesting things, people and places.

Mainly because I haven't got that much to say that would be seen as interesting myself.


Over the last few months, I've been 'following' a chap on the Music Radar forums, who has been publicly designing and defining a new guitar, that he plans to have made. Incorporating peoples' suggestions and ideas, that sort of thing.

As a result, his guitar design has evolved before the eyes of everybody interested and is excellent looking, it has to be said. He is now at the stage where he has got a 'Proof-of-Concept- built, and has been clever enough to get it made by a top notch luthier, which means it is a real-deal kind of guitar.

He has even put together a prototypical web site so that you can play and pick your own features, for a custom version of the guitar, you might one day want to buy for yourself.

You can have a go HERE.

The foto at the top of the page is one I fancied...

The long term plan is, I think, that he will sell the guitars in kit form but with guitar techs local to you available to put it together 'properly' if you so wish.

Now if I was being cynical I'd say that all of this is a masterclass in new media web marketing - and if the chap is that cleverly-cynical, well, good luck to him, he is very good at it, and nobody seems to mind.

However, it is all about guitars as far as I am concerned and even if he is being cute on the marketing side, I don't really care as the end result is proving to be quite lovely and he seems a decent geezer anyway, so good luck to him.

You really should have a play on the web page if you have a minute and keep an ear out for Delta Guitars and The Ghost, methinks it could prove to be something special.
