Doing Things Wrong

Samick Artist Series SG450 (2/2)

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is what it would have looked like originally, with the ugly speed knobs

Guitar Racks

Original design

Build enough guitars, and eventually, you run out of places to keep them. So I took a different direction and built some racks.
