Picks were ordered from “The Pick Guy”; rainbow confetti celluloid in a variety of gauges.

These were very popular with people that stopped by our exhibit at the 2009 Healdsburg Guitar Festival, August 14-16.


Michael described his integrally carved curvilinear tone bars and other features to hundreds of interested attendees.


There was quite a lot of diversity among the players who stopped by.


We were lucky to have been given an excellent location.


Jeffrey Burr gave an inspiring demo concert using all three guitars we had at the show.

Our top display, and three different guitar sizes attracted a lot of attention.
