Hey...

 

I live in Seattle and I'm the builder of "Soul Cat Guitars" You can usually catch me on the weekends at the Freemont Sunday Market or check out my Guitars on:    www.soulcatguitar.com

Ian, next time you play Highway 99 write me and I'll lend you one of my guitars to play...if you'd like. I love that place, I used to play there all the time.

I'd like to see a group start around here, I've run into about 3-4 builders in my travels......

Greetings all! From Lakebay, WA. Just started building. The first one I made sounds great and was a blast to build, now it's time to build a couple for the kids.
