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?

Nice!

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.

Something Fine!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

That's a beauty.

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

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.

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

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

Sorry my spell check changed tricone to trombone. William

What a nice piece of work Chris!
