I missed an F off that of. But yeah long hours as well, but if you're doing something you like I'm sure the time simply flew by.

That it did...helps listening to some rock and or roll while sanding. Gave me some rythm to go along with.

Great looking guitars man. Was this at the Lado shop? I've been wanting to take the full 20 week course, but it's $12,000, and that's not including room and board. The Lado site says this is their last course this year, so is this George guy doing them himself?

Wow. Great work!

No, this was at the private house of George Rizsanyi in Nova Scotia. He was one of the first builders at Lado guitars and helped to build the company. But, he has since split off but does still correspond with the Lado course. In fact, he recommended that i do the Lado course instead (before i started) because he is normally an acoustic guy and had just finished doing the "Six String Nation" Guitar and was extremely stressed. But, we talked it through and i did the course in the end.

Just a little info on the Six String Nation Guitar, all you canadians musicians should know about it. It started its tour of Canada on Canada Day and has since been touring with Canadian Musicians bieng passed around from musician to musician. The guitar consists of "63 pieces contributed from different cultures, communities and characters from across the country. One additional piece is found on the guitar strap and 3 others are found in the lining of the guitar case."

My guitar also contains a few select remains of the woods that were used for this guitar.

I did check his site, and it doesn't say anything about electrics. I suppose I'd have to call him and talk to him about it.
