VISA

Just realized I had forgotten to post photos of this guitar. And yes, visa is the Finnish name for the birch grain figure on the top; Karelian Birch I think it's called in english.

After two months of almost non stop work (Saturday

After two months of almost non stop work (Saturdays, Sundays, evenings...), I'm off to my summer holidays. I'll get back to work March 9th.

A small story time: Just before Christmas I got a message from a customer asking for two guitars. The catch was that his band started a (world) tour in February and he wanted them for that. We worked out a deal, I built him two guitars in a month (along with my regular production), and he paid a reasonable extra commission for them.

I didn't count the hours I put in during January, but definitely I got in more than a full working week's worth of production hours; I had two Sundays off, every Saturday was a full working day, and my Monday to Fridays were 10-12 hours long.

But I pulled it off with the help of @fieldhillguitars, who help me with fretwork and assemblies. I finished three regular orders, and the two guitars for him, five guitars in total from start to finish in a month. That's gotta be some kind of world record in luthiery!

Oh, and on top of that I assembled and finalised half a dozen guitars I did woodworking and paint & lacquer during November - December.

I'll get photos of all those guitars to my website -> EVR GTR during my holidays, and I'll post best of the best here.

Now, it's a month of 🌴, 🏖️, 🌞, and hammock time for me.
