The rare limited edition Builder's Reserve Taylor guitar and amp I sold for $4,000.00. All that's left is the Guild Doyle Dykes 12 string, an incredibly beautiful guitar. I can sell it for $2,000 now. Google this model for specs and pics. It won't last long at this price!

I was able to get the custom factory order Taylor guitar for a friend for $2,000. That's over three grand less than my deceased friend's brother originally listed it for. The real prize is the very limited edition Taylor Builder's Reserve series 3 guitar and matching amp combo. I have the seller...

I've already lacquer thinnered off the first go round. Fighting the dang paint and double stroking lines isn't the look I wanted. I know a lot of guys who've striped with HOK urethanes and said the flat drying results looked okay. Don't really know about that but might give it a shot. Wish like...

I started pinstriping my new cargo van the other day with the current version of 1 Shot. It's a far cry from the paint I had the last time I striped a truck. When thinned and palleted out to brushing consistency it has no body to it. None of what the old timers called "ropiness". Maybe the Trump...

If anyone was actually thinking about inquiring on these guitars, I'd like to add this. I've convinced my deceased friend's brother to lower the price on all of them to be up to several hundred dollars less than any similar guitars being offered to the collectors market. In fact, the Guild Doyle...

I might add that I can entertain offers below asking price. The very rare Builder's Reserve is at $4,500 now for a guitar and amp combo. This is the best price out there for this set that was limited to 30 units worldwide. There is still another one for sale at 8 grand with dings in the top, not...

Years ago I was asked to do a fastback Vette as a D.A.R.E. car for a local PD. The chief was a customer of mine already for his racecars and trailers I lettered every year. He gave me the Vette keys and said to keep it for a month to do a top flight job on it. He also said I could drive it all I...

Don't bother reading unless you have the funds to experience a case of what musicians call G.A.S., Gear Acquisition Syndrome! I had a good friend who passed away last month after a second round of cancer. He was a prolific guitar collector, as I used to be when money was more plentiful. His...

Here's a little update on how the craft fair idea has panned out. Been to 6 since posting this. I've had ample and varied inventory each time as well as visible sign advertising what I'm selling. I got frustrated with people walking past the booth only giving it a 3 second glance. I tried...

Anybody got a Martin guitar they're not using they'd be willing to send me?

Oh yeah... and I was asked a few times if these were done "freehand". A couple bikers asked if I used 1 Shot paint, I assume from a familiarity with pinstriping. One guy asked me if I used a computer cut paint mask and he scrutinized them very closely when I said no. That surprised me, but then...

Forgot to post update after craft show. I only moved two signs but had a lot of interest in them. There were a few bigger similar events happening close by and our turnout was way down both days. Fortunately it was held at a beer garden with an open bar! So at least I didn't get bored. Have a...

Someone pointed out to me the horse thieves sign is soft porn. Correct verbiage should've been "will be hanged". I'm sure grammarians weren't rampant in the old west though and this is common usage of the king's english. What about it bob?

A woman called me after seeing these interior decor signs on Facebook. She is a promoter for a big handmade items fair in a fantastic venue in downtown Fort Worth, TX. She offered me a free 10 x 10 booth this weekend if I would donate an item for a raffle. Here are a few more latest projects...

I actually know a sign shop owner who fell for this earlier this year. He ended up lettering 40 two by six foot banners with no deposit, just an email from what he said "sounded like a nice man of god". I asked him how besides being stuck with the banner he got scammed. He said he had to prepay...

Because Marlene... bob is the resident Don Rickles cross pollinated with Steven Hawking. He keeps me laughing anyway!

I have an old Roland PNC950 plotter given to me by a former customer. He had it hooked to a Mac desktop and said it was plug and play for him. He only used it to cut temporary aircraft ID numbers for test flights as he was a builder of replica WW2 aircraft. Each time I have hooked it up to a...
