Location: Scotland | Tim, we spent the last few weeks playing in Scotland and now we're headed south, so I wont get there. There's another guitar festival this weekend right on my doorstep, and I'll miss that too. |

Location: NJ | Got this pic in my "Inbox" this morning from Master Templeman. Taken during the Bob Cheevers UK Tour that Temp is on with him. That's a Ric lapsteel he playing. I cropped Bob out of the pic - NOT out of disrespect, but to make Ovations bigger/clearer in the pic. Temp's Custom guitar is nicely visible (sporting a FeedbackBuster, are we??), and yes, that blue guitar on the stand IS in fact the nefarious MOB!! (which Temp is saying is working out to be a nice lil' gig guitar . . .

Did you have to "alter" that FeedbackBuster plug to acommodate the custom shape on the end of the fingerboard, or did it just "slip underneath"? (I would think that it would) |

Location: Scotland | Cliff, yes I had to trim the feedback buster, it's still a pain to get in & out of the hole with the strings up to pitch. I started using the MOB because it took up less space in the rental car than my old Legend in it's hardshell & got to to like the sound & feel. It's great for slide but I probably wouldn't use it for anything else. Apart from the custom Folklore the other instruments are a nylon Viper (thanks Al!) a factory re-built '68 GC 12-string and a "book" Mando |

Location: Scotland | Bill, I can't afford Tommy Bahama (at least not at old Mr Lansky's prices in Memphis) It's a cheap tourist shirt from Balboa Island, courtesy of my Southern Californian tour guide Mr Moody. He would have bought one too but I got the last XXXL. |

I've got a closet full of Hawaiian shirts, and Temp needed some that were a bit better than what he had believed, up to that point, were Hawaiian shirts. The Brits have funny ideas about clothes. Let a socialist dress himself, and it's a freakin' disaster! |

Be nice if we could get some Ovation fabric and have some made. Maybe we could even get a mauve one for aLeX? |

Actually, I'm toying/researching THAT very thing!!!
A goodly part of the "end product" of my work is wide-format digital output. It's kinda like VERY high-end inkjet (or dye-sublimation) printers printing on 3,5,6,10,12,or 16' wide material(s).
I've found several exhibitors at some of the FashionFabric Shows that have the capability of dye-subbing "short runs" of material with whatever pattern you conceive/provide them with.
Their target market is design houses that want to produce "samples" without going through the risk (and expense) of a dye house producing numerous bolts of material for just a few pieces.
Working on an Adamas/Hibiscus motif . . . .
