Nice art work, and looks like a great shop! Wish I lived closer so I could come in try out some of the guitars you have on the floor. Wish you great success in this business location.

Steve, don't you know that it never rains here in So California?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Great decor Jim. I can't wait to see it all in person.

I am with you Joe. Looking forward to seeing the art work and running into "Uncle Bob" He just got a Fessy recently. As a matter of fact, he emailed me a picture of it that was taken right in front of the sunset painting on Jim's wall. Maybe I can get him to show me a couple of new licks on it.
Jim, The artwork is awesome... |

Just look at all those guitars! Blue ones, red ones, black ones--I'm glad I didn't have to come there to buy one; I would never have been able to decide.
The paintings set them off beautifully. What manufacturer would want his name removed, leaving all the others? Good show.

Yes, he did. Jim leased the adjacent storefront and removed the wall separating the 2 rooms. his store is now twice as large as before.

Actually a few months ago he took over the place next door, so the shop is twice the size it used to be! |

My deepest sympathies for the drought!
Hopefully, some "Rains" will be coming your way!
Very cool store... I hope to visit someday.

| Now, to really appreciate how good Queenie is, go back up to the top photo and imagine that that is actually a flat wall! (It isn't true, but she's good enough to do that, if it were true!) |

| Queenie is good enough to do that- however I just stitched a couple pics together in order to save space on this post. In truth I rented the suite next to mine and cut a hole in the wall. Really just needed more room- especially the shop area (not shown)- with all the machines necessary to do this stuff right (lathe, milling machine, sanders, saws, drills, paint stuff,etc.) the store just got 2 danged crowded and now is way mo' betta'. Thanks for the nice comments- I just try to stay outta the way (mostly). |
