Probably the most exciting news is that we've purchased plane tickets to Montreal - to attend the Montreal Guitar Show over the 4th of July weekend. (Lucky for us it coincides with the Montreal Jazz Fest). This year is mostly a reconnaisance mission, as I've never been to the show before. I just want to see what the show is like in hopes of having a booth there next year. I have to say a wave of panic hit me when we bought the tickets - I'm finally going to be in a room with some of the best luthiers in the world. We will see how I stack up.
I've been burning the midnight oil trying to finish a new carved top 510 to take to Montreal (and to Nashville, see below). It's going well and I've attached a few pics of the guitar in progress below.
We're also planning on attending the NAMM show since it's so close - in Nashville. If you'd like to meet me or see one of my guitars at either of these shows shoot me an email at: clay@clayconnerguitars.com. Also, we've set up a fan page on Facebook - feel free to check that out and become a fan, or you can follow me on Twitter.
That's about it for this time. I'm sure as the shows approach you'll be hearing some philosophical ramblings from this direction - a by product of the inevitable soul searching that will happen.
