Thank You to TG and Ed Claxton
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 7:00 pm
I just want to throw this out there so all of you know how much your efforts in this section of the forum is appreciated.
I have really been enjoying the clips with Ed Claxton. This gentleman appears to be a real genuine craftsman of the highest order. His philosophies and processes in which he incorporates into his guitar building is extraordinary. I have always wanted to be a Luthier and I just wish I would have followed my dream back when I was a little less encumbered with responsibilities. I tell you if I had seen these clips back in the day my life may have followed a very different track (not necessarily better but definitely different).
I while back there was a thread that asked about How and what would be a good framework and prize for a TG contest. For me there would be nothing that would motivate me more to participate than to get a chance to get an Ed Claxton Guitar. I have never had the chance to play one but getting some insight into the methods used to build them I have no doubt I would cherish this instrument. Better yet, since I am living in fantasy land here, send me off to work with Ed to build my own guitar with him, Now that would be a dream come true for me.
Anyway back to reality, I just want to finish by saying Thank you Ed and Thank you TG for bringing these clips to us. The only thing that could make these clips better for me is if they were longer or more of them. Someday if the finances are available to me I will be purchasing my own Ed Claxton.
Thanks again,
Bill
