Record Delayed, Guitar News...

16:07 As you can tell from the title, the release of the recrod has been delayed to September/Ocotber, 2007. The main reasons are that the guitar that is being built for me requires a certain amount of time. Even we rushed trhough the process (not wise anyway) it won't be ready for at least 3 months. That would mean putting the record out in July. July and August are probably the worst two months for releasing anything. The possibilities for promotion are almost null, and people are more intersted in going to the beach than in buying new instrumental guitar music! After a long internal debate, I decided that the guitar needs to be on the record, first of all because I want to play it, and second of all because I feel it is only fair to use the record to help promote the instrument. This will also give more time to polish the material, the artwork, and so on.

Yesterday I had a meeting over lunch with Mr Luthier, and we discussed things in further detail. The guitar is looking good. It is a complicated effort to create something original but valid. It has a somewhat classic shape, with a few adjustments that make it tailored to my exact needs. Anyway, a 2D drawing is being made now, and after my approval we'll be starting building the actual thing. More on this later...
