This Chicagoan was strung up for the first time in March of this year (2018). As with all new instruments it’s fun to hear them in their early developmental life. It’s easy to describe the process of a guitar changing and maturing with human qualities because it’s so personal and powerful. To construct something out of wood and metal into a working system that not only moves and reacts but is completely open to outside change, is magical! This time is always inspiring and it gives me so much fuel and drive to move on to the next guitar journey.<\/p>\n
