Terrence Brewer laying it down on a 12.5” archtop I made for him last year. 23.25” scale, it’s a little guitar with a big sound and not one I ever would have thought to make. I was surprised by how good it sounded acoustically and as you can hear in this video, the amplified sound is really nice.

I wasn't going to go to Outside Lands last weekend because it's expensive and there was only one band that I really wanted to see. Then on Friday, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, that one band I wanted to see) came into the shop with his band and crew. I love his music, so it was quite a thrill to hear him play my latest guitar. He couldn't have been nicer, and got me +2 VIP passes for the show on Saturday. The sun came out and the band was fantastic! Sometimes things just work out. Thanks Justin!
