When I heard about Solo Music in Toronto selling do-it-yourself guitar kits,
I took a look. What surprised me was the prices for the left-handed models they had.
A right-handed Strat-style was $139 and the lefty was $149.
I'm used to anything left-handed costing twice as much as a righty.
There's some photo glare in the bottom left.
When I was playing in a house band in Niagara Falls, for a year and a half,
I saw a guitar another guitarist refinished, and really liked the head-stock.
It looked perfect in way I never saw before so I had to ask.
He said he painted the head-stock as a final finish,
and then wiped a rag around the edge to wipe paint off,
leaving a rounded look that is really nice. That was 1977-78.
Painting a head-stock for the first time, liking natural wood, I did that.
I built this exterior guitar, or a beater, to use with a portable BOSS amp.
Walking around Niagara Falls, sounding like JImi, jazz or acoustic, is good.
I was thinking of making a sign and sitting behind it on the sidewalk,
"Rate Right Romance", or get into buy and sell as the "Cellar for Sellers".
I decided to go with "Sir Face Signs" and be a sign-painter and artist again,
more of a pandemic loneliness thing, thinking I'll be talking with customers.
I always say I'm not a Sir when someone calls me that, even in court,
I don't like my Face as an older man, but I can make Signs.
I really can't play the blues on this guitar, my sugar maple leaf guitar.
It's not a sad-sap.
