So, you wonder, what does sailing and visiting the tropics have to do with building guitars? Everywhere we went on our boat "Just Imagine" we found people making musical instruments . In any small, perhaps backward town, one can find people playing music. Where music is played, the are people making the instruments. Be seeing how guitar making is done elsewhere in the world, and how the results sound, and feel and play, we can better flavor our own guitars. Seeing how guitars are made all over the world also has influenced our visual perceptions of how a guitar should look. For me every guitar should look different than the last on. Factories all over the world produce the same thing over and over and over. BORING!!! Every guitar we make, or will ever make will be unique, will have superior sound and feel, and will be very cool.
