My SB-1 Prototype guitar went \u2018home\u2019 today. I\u2019d arranged with Simon, who originally built it for me, to take it back to his workshop so he could strip it down and send it off to be CNC scanned in preparation for producing a couple of pre-production models. The result hopefully should be a CAD file that will allow these and future models to be produced more accurately, based on the original prototype as a template.<\/p>\n
It was good to see Simon again after so long, and to see how his workshop has expanded during the intervening years. It felt quite strange \u2013 in a nice sort of way \u2013 to be back where it all began.<\/p>\n
I have to admit, though, that I did feel a little nervous leaving the guitar \u2013 I\u2019ve suddenly come over all protective and as I write this I realise I\u2019m thinking of it as \u2018her\u2019! She\u2019s the only SB-1 in existence, and this is the first time I\u2019ve left her away from my house\u2026 I know she\u2019s in good hands though and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll be safely reunited in no time at all.<\/p>\n
How she feels about all this is a whole other matter, of course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
