i see. the pics looked kinda crappy, so i thought you were using a camera phone, and since you had to use your phone instead of a real camera you werent supposed to be doing that. i forgot you were the yard guy. my bad.

how made?

Juan Guitarex, Landscaper of Death-

now that we've seen the guitars as they are as chunks of wood, I was wondering...

are any sort of computerized machines used to make the necks or the bodies? I imagine you guys would have some sort of automation to get the shapes and sizes consistent... then finish things off by hand.

Or was my neck hand carved over 86 hours using a small pocket knife?

is this a secret?

I'm curious to know,

thanks, pete
