At 6:50am on October 29, 2009, Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) said…: Your wife passed on??? Jesus Christ, man, I'm so sorry to hear that. There's not even anything I can say about that that sounds intelligent or meaningful. The best I've got is that I really hope you pull through okay and I sincerely hope that you two had a good, happy run together before she had to go.

Fuck, man. Terribly sorry for your loss.

At 5:34am on October 29, 2009, Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) said…: Thanks, man. I appreciate that. You can't rush these things at all. As a guitar maker, so much is riding on your reputation that you just can't afford a bad review. Plus, you can make a guitar that's 99% perfect but if the player's fingers get hung up on one sharp fret or there's one part of that neck that just doesn't feel right, that's the only thing the player is going to notice. The relationship between the player and the guitar has got to be symbiotic; the player shouldn't be fighting the guitar to try to get the right sounds out of it. The guitar needs to be such that it "helps" the player to make his or her desired music.

Take it easy.

At 6:28am on October 28, 2009, Old Kipper said…: might have to order a few myself and make them up as xmas presents. good luck and hope it's worth a fiver......

At 2:19am on October 21, 2009, Vic Ribando said…: I know I got the fever!

Thanks

At 2:15am on October 21, 2009, bairfoot cajun said…: thanks brother fer the comment,cajun food is often associated with real hot and spicy flavor but that is not always the case for the traditional cajun dishes. too hot can hurt ya but just the right flavor can cure what might hurt ya. i,m glad to be from the cajun country, i learned many valuable things there. one of the things i learned is that its ok for a man to cook if he knows what he is doing.i cooked some gumbo in texas one time fer about 20 people and 90 percent of them went back for seconds,and every time i ever seen them again after that they said when you gonna cook some more gumbo.that in itself told me i did a good job,but my secret was i made file' gumbo,that is the best there is.

At 4:45am on October 11, 2009, c# merle said…: thanks for the invite. thats a real cool reso you made

At 11:52am on October 10, 2009, Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) said…: No secret. Just gave it about 5 spray coats of lacquer before I installed the hardware.

At 10:13am on October 10, 2009, Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) said…: Thanks for the kind words. I'm a little surprised we weren't set up as buddies on here already. I must have missed that.

At 8:33am on October 9, 2009, Wichita Sam said…: They're boxed and ready to go... just let me know when...

At 3:02am on October 9, 2009, Wichita Sam said…: Sorry it took so long to get back to you... busy 2 weeks... anyway freight on the two boxes is still $ 22.80 (first class). If that works add $ 3 per and you have $ 28.80..... It seems like a lot on your end, so if you need to say "no" that's OK.... $ 3 per box minus paypal fees isn't exactly making a killing, but I'm glad to help out.

the best,

Sam

At 9:42am on October 4, 2009, Jonas Westerlund said…: Yes i already have started thinking about the next one using the things i have learned so far. I will take some pics during next building session and make a little work log for you to see.
