My playing sucks

Well when I saw the title I was hoping that you'd play that song! It's such a good tune that I can easily forgive any messy playing...good job!
I kept waiting to hear "Everybody I talk to is waiting to leave...."

Nice looking shop.

Hi Chris,
Nice looking and sounding guitar. How long did it take to carve the head plates?

[Mario Proulx]

Nice!

[Chris Paulick]

Thanks
About 60 hrs a plate probably about 10 more on the back since it was really my first carving. That's not counting the designing either. I think someome who knows what they are doing and does it a lot could probably do it way faster.
Mark, watching me fumble through it was bad enough without hearing me sing it... Nothing like destroying a classic Jackson Browne tune.

[Mark Swanson]

Something Fine!

[Patrick Hanna]

Yo, Chris,
Nothing deserving an apology there--not at all. I think your guitar is fabulous. And I don't think your playing sucks at all. Heck...we all wish we played better! Well done!

[Warren May]

Great looking guitar, Chris. We've been following your headstock carve and it's nice to see the complete guitar. The belly and arm contours are a nice touch. Sounds good, too.

[Ryan Mazzocco]

that is just amazing. I love love love it! what has two thumbs and is a huge fan of Chris Paulick's work? This guy!
At the risk of sounding too over enthusiastic, this is really a beautiful piece of work.

[Steven Smith]

I didn't realize the rosette we looked at a while ago was going to go with the carving. Very well executed, gorgeous instrument and it sounds great!

[Len McIntosh]

Congrats on a beautiful build.
My favorite aspect of guitars is the female influence on the shape when viewed from the front or rear, and your convergence of the bevels in a beautiful curve when viewed from the sides takes this a step further.

[Greg Carter]

Nice guitar, really nice. I would consider it a great success if my guitar sounded like that when I finished it.

[Matthew Lau]

That's a beauty.

I'm glad to see that you're still building.

[Gordon Bellerose]

Nice build Chris. That forearm bevel looks very well done, and the carving sets things off nicely indeed.

On another note; when I watched your video I realized that I had seen some of your videos on Youtube.
In particular the ones where you show your binding router jig. I actually copied that jig, and showed it on this forum, in the tools and jigs section.
I did not claim it as my own, stating that I had copied it off a Youtube video.
I did not know that you were a forum member.
Thanks for the design, it works really well.

[Andy Birko]

Very nicely done, Chris. Can you elaborate more on how you named it "the Everyman Guitar"?

[william hopper]

Hi Chris I've greatly enjoyed all the instruction you've given. I saw that you have some info on mimf about metal body trombone. Can you help me link to this info. I need some ideas on cone well jigs for construction. Thanks again. William

[william hopper]

Sorry my spell check changed tricone to trombone. William

[Bob Francis]

What a nice piece of work Chris!
