Those Other G's....

Rest easy -- the long awaited second installment of the much-hyped 'G Series' is finally here!  In my younger days I often dreamed of making my way in the wilds of the Yukon in that elusive quest for gold.  It's a dream that began nearly 14 months ago when Kaitlyn and I talked about how much fun it would be to go camping in the wilds of the Yukon to look for gold (I never said it was a complicated or old dream)  So, in between guitar shows, Kaitlyn and I spent a few weeks in an around her hometown camping, panning, and hiking in some incredibly beautiful spots...

A few miles from Kaitlyn's childhood home in Atlin, B.C.

And what about that final 'G'?  Growing a beard?  Not a chance I was going to risk panning for gold with a clean shaven face.  So, solely for authenticity's sake, I grew a 2 month beard and dove right into character...

Canadian Gothic?

The real question is, what does this all have to do with guitars?  Absolutely nothing.  Speaking of guitars, Mike O'Brien came into the shop the other day to record a bunch of videos.  The guitars and Mike both sounded fantastic!  In the video below, Mike is playing one of the show guitars from this summer.  It's a stunning set of cocobolo for the back and sides, sitka spruce top, cherry neck, with cocobolo binding and rosette.  Lots more videos coming soon!
