First off, let me say that while I've posted a few times here in the past few years, it's been a long time since I've posted here on a regular basis. Typical reasons, family, work, band, life in general. I started here about 7 years ago and have meet a lot of cool people just on the board and in person. I don't post on any other forums. Never had.
On to the news. Since 1990, I've been doing guitar repair and customization for a small word of mouth community (friends, friends of friends, etc). I've worked on a few members guitars here or members have bought guitars, I've done repair work on. I've just been given an opportunity to open up a small shop inside RVP Studios here in West Haven CT. RVP is a huge facility that houses 3 guitar teachers, 3+ drum teachers, bass, piano and singing lessons. They also have a full service recording studio and fully equipped rehearsal spaces. There is also a Huge theater for pro rehearsals that has already had Ace Frehley and Hatebreed in house. RVP has been growing since I started rehearsing there in 2004. My son has been taking drum lessons with the owner for 4 years. They have just moved to their new facility and its really unbelievable.
To sum up, Glinsky Customs is going legit! my goal is to eventually quite my day job. It'll be a challenge doing both, but it's worth it. I want to thank the people on this board that gave me the balls to do this. From Sully's advice both personal and within threads(you and Kev inspired me try my hand at making a homade vtrem. it was ugly, but functional) to Dave's(budman) help with a bunch of projects. Also, all of you who have had me do work for you(Wayne, you are the best) or bought something I brought back from the dead. Thanks for all the kind words from all of you. Thats what made me believe I could do this. If you're in southern CT, look me up. I'll be moving in soon(next few weeks).
