Hi everyone, Jacques-André from the Montreal Guitar Show here.


Just a quick note to let you know that The Montreal Guitar Show (http://www.montrealguitarshow.com) is expanding by adding a new room and inviting a few selected high-end electric builders for our 2009 edition.

This new addition will help confirm the leadership of the Montreal Guitar Show: THE high end guitar destnation.

If you think we should know about you, send us your web site adress at jacques-andre.dupont@equipespectra.ca . Only a few places are available. Invitations will be sent soon... But if we don't know you, there is little chance that we can consider you.

Thanks!!!

p.s. if anyone have suggestions, they are quite welcomed!

thanks

I guess that this is a «reaching for the star thing» 8-)

Anyone?

Or anyone can suggest names?

If memory serves me correctly the OLF's own Brock Poling has been crafting some excellent looking electrics. Jacques, take a look into the archives for a few images.

Thanks. I am really not promoting the electrics. I pretty much only build them now for friends/family and a few folks I know. I am putting all my eggs in the acoustic basket.

Here are a few names of guys who I admire greatly..

Rolf Spuler
Ulrich Teuffel
Claudio Pagelli

I also loved John Mayes last electric guitar he posted here.

Click the sig to see if I fit the bill.

I've always admired John Catto's work. He used to play in a Canadian punk band, but I believe he lives in the U.K. now.

Hey Bruce, nice to see a unique design...!

It's very different and certainly not traditional, but i think it has nice lines!

ohhh I see classic cars in those designs. 600 looks like the fin of a 57 Chevy, the ??jet-1 looks like either an Oldsmobile, or Buick and the jet-5 looks like a Pontiac.

Excellent job. I am not a good player so looking good has to work for me... idunno .....and they look good! [clap] [clap] [clap]

Mike

ps how close am I on the guesses?

Obviously, the designs are very much influenced by Automotive designs of the late 50s early 60s. with a splash of 50s "Neon" and "Diner" in there for good measure.

So while I would say that we never set out to emulate a particular model of auto, We did get several styleing cues from them. so what you say you see, is about as close as any one could come.
