Hey there! I'd love to keep in touch!

The lovely lady on the right in my avatar is Katee Sackhoff, from the new Battlestar Galactica, who is, sadly, not my SO. ;-)

I'm not a luthier myself, more of a guitar collector, and a friend of Frank's. I actually work for Ning, and suggested he should create this network, in fact. He's one of the coolest people I know. Very, very knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me rescue a poor, damaged Les Paul that most people would have told me to throw away -- and he probably wishes he had, too! But he's a wonderful guy and this forum and frets.com are fantastic resources for the guitar community.

It's so great to see women working in luthierie, too. I know there are a few in North America like Judy Threet, great to know that there are some on the other side of the globe as well.
