Form vs function. You can have both. When designing a new guitar, I agonize over a curve or shape sometimes for hours. The sound is effected so little with subtle shape changes that almost any shape will do. But visually subtle differences make a huge difference. The difference to me is whether or not I can build that guitar as I need to be inspired by what I'm creating. No inspiration, no guitar. Edwin

All artists require inspiration, a "muse" if you will. Often this will come from a sale of our work. "Wow, I sold that, I'll make another piece!" Sometimes just from a complement! "Wow, she LIKED that!" and sometimes, even from a criticism and the inherent complement that someone cared enough to be critical! Artists are really people and like others the worst you can do to us is to ignore us! jerry
