I built the Snake guitar to be somewhat of an experiment, an example of what I can do given the opportunity. I wanted to keep it for a while so I could learn from what I had built. I did one gig with it and it worked very well, both regarding the intonation and the tone. It stayed in tune and was very articulate in the noisy environment. I played it a lot at home and showed it to some friends to play while I could listen. It was a great experience and fruitful experiment as well. I wouldn't change anything, it is an example of my best work. The sustain and articulation is by far the best I've done. The next piece I undertake will definitely utilize the improvements I've made here.
I let my friend Pat O'Bryan play it and we talked about the tone and the way the string bending tension was softer feeling and easier to hit a pitch with. Pat told Joe Vitale about it, he saw the photos here and scheduled an appointment. I hated to let my baby go but Joe is persuasive. I sold him the guitar. Thanks for supporting the arts Joe! Thanks Pat for the photos.
This is me signing away my newborn, a difficult proposition. Joe will take care of the guitar, she will have a good life. Now I have to begin again, a new start. See you soon.
