Almost backyard build!

Times are tough, the world's economy is takin' a beating; What should conscientious luthiers do in response?! How about some scrounge builds! Nothin' fancy, nothin' from far away, and lots of imagination...

Hey Dave! You speak Canadian too eh. How cool. And yup. Big sound for a little guitar. I'm very happy.

And Lefty, Last winter I dug in and went at building a new shop. This winter, reaped the benifits. Did lots of cabinet work for profit, some house projects to keep Mama Bear happy. And I'm sure smiling. It's just about time to go at my real job. 2 months of trying to out smart the sought after Spot Prawn of the West Coast of British Columbia. You should see my office. Life is good. I have two great kids. Both active in music. And me, long time player and woodworker who has tried to follow the sound advice of Peter Pan and never quite grown up.

Looking forward to spending time here.

All The Best,
Danny Vincent

Well sir, that's about as backyard of a build as it gets. Welcome, and very fine work for guitar #2! Like the whole gang, I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Danny,
I have seen part of your office. I spent 10 days salmon fishing up around Ketchikan a few years ago. Beautiful place.

Your gonna like it hear. There are a lot of lost boys from Neverland here. :D
