Clients were requesting products that they couldn't find on island and costs of traveling to purchase were beginning to become very high. We still do electronic repair and Ukulele restoration. I concentrate on tools for improving tone and small and innovative manufacturers. We are tooling up for our own custom builds with a focus on alternative and/or renewable materials and earth friendly construction techniques.http://guitarskauai.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (www.GuitarsKauai.com)Blogger18125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528808419930402617.post-3475573910257742337Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:31:00 +00002011-05-09T10:03:20.576-10:00Credo April 2011 I serve a tiny niche of musicians here on this small and culturally isolated  island who play live electric guitars and basses.  They have a lot of moxie  since rock and roll, blues, metal, country and worship music, in which  amplified string instruments still figure prominately, is struggling to say the  least.         I grew up in the land http://guitarskauai.blogspot.com/2011/04/credo-april-2011.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (www.GuitarsKauai.com)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528808419930402617.post-4887563796052459356Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:41:00 +00002011-03-31T17:06:02.508-10:00FenderLove PedalPurple VanTrees LoungeEnd of the Month: March 2011 The end of the month and tackling payables and receivables made me think of attaching the above image of Ray Liotta from "Good Fellas" to my balance due invoices.
