This weekend is going to be a little bit different. It’s good to mix it up a little.
Friday night, Allen Edwards (who plays bass in the Thirst N’ Howl Band) and I will be moonlighting at the Outback Pub with Lain Wendler. Lain is a fine guitarist and singer. He plays a lot of blues and good dance groove rock and roll. Most of the time he does a three piece thing. He has been so kind as to let me sit in for the night. I’m really looking forward to this one. I have not played with Lain before but, I’ve heard him play so, I do have a bit of an idea of what he’ll be throwing at me. Should be fun.

Saturday night, Allen and I will be joining Brandi, Boyd and Tom as Thirst N’ Howl will be returning to Harlow’s up there in Springfield. We all had a real good time last time and we are glad to back at this mainstay of the notorious Springfield club scene.

Now, for all you guitar heads out there. Lain Wendler’s brother, Dave, is a luthier. I have not had the pleasure of playing one of his instruments yet but, I’ve just been over to his website. Electroacoustic is the name of his company. These look like very well made guitars. All with hand carved necks.
Dave says…
While we build to order, we sometimes have instruments in stock, so please call. We’re committed to making every instrument we build suit the player in every way. Your order will be processed by me.
These guitars have some unique features and the site is very informative regarding the details of construction. I was also interested to see that they are starting to build some tube amps as well.
Here are a couple of photos of guitars that he has in stock.
Trad #161 includes bridge humbucker and glossy bakersfield blond finish. 25.5″ scale; 1 3/4″ nut width.
Trad “seven” string, natural gloss finish, Sperzel machines, 26.4″(670mm) scale; 2.0″ nut width. Big breathy tone perfect for solo jazz.

These are very attractive instruments, select mountain cedar, carved for accoustic tonality, and lighter weight. Cedar is a wonderful wood to work with. It is lightweight, but dimensionally stable, that is, cedar has lots of strength for less weight. Unlike tropical woods, it is not endangered.
I design and build custom decks when asked, and cedar is the best surface material for decks, but adds x 3 the $. Most decks today are fashioned out of Thompsonized/ Wolmanized pine 2x lumber.
I would buy one of these guitars just for the artistic quality. They remind me of the cedar canoes we used to paddle in San Marcus when we were little noodniks. But I am in the market for an electric violin for my youngest boy, and after seeing these elec-coustics, I might dig deeper in my pocket.
Thanks guys for the new links to new looks. ..Standard Pat
