#31 is done- very pleased, especially with the ebony over cherry body. My first interview went very well, and I've got it edited into a nice 9:30 . Just figuring out a theme, titles and credits, etc. I'm out of town for work this week, so hope to have it finished and up by the end of the month.

Also, started an Instagram- CenturyGuitars. That will also be the youtube channel.

That is freakin beautiful

#32 done. No requests for builds currently, so if anyone wants a guitar, now is a great time.

Also- uploaded the first interview on the youtube channel- The software made thigs quite difficult, so it doesn't look how I'd like, but the content is all there. Could use whatever help you all can offer to help find an audience. 5-6 more interviews and other topics already sorted- will start filming #2 this week. Now that I know the limitations of the system, and my own skills, I should be able to make it better and much faster.

Got the message and just responded- Excited to talk about the possibilities!
I have one other build in the hopper. will get started tomorrow. Always nice to work on 2 at a time- reduces setup and tool changeover times.

Second episode is up on youtube- Just a quick overview of what I keep in my fly-rig tech box.

Chris, you don't have a web page yet for your guitars?

No- I'm already at the maximum I can handle for builds, about 8-10/year. But I did start an instagram.

Lots to tell everyone about. First, build #33 is well underway. Very different construction on this one. Trying to find some new ways of doing things that save time/materials.
Nice swamp ash body
A while back I built this little guy. A TB500 tenor guitar- 24" scale, tele rail pickup, tiny neck. 4.5 pounds. Made up mainly of oddball leftover parts. Way fun to play. I'm thinking of making this a giveaway, maybe for some landmark subscriptiuon to the youtube channel, or for someone who can help out The Bismarck w/ tour booking, or whatever.

Speaking of youtube channel- Episode #3 is up. Interview with my buddy Marcus Schefer. I worked w/ Marcus for a while, but he spent a long time on the road with bands like Buckcherry and Five Finger Death Punch.
