Scale Meeting 12/12/04
Construction Adventure
Continues...

    This month's meeting was open to the public and was also held at Erickson Guitars. Once again were glad to see more new interest in SCALe. Once agan we addeda new member. We would like to welcome Tony Andreoli to our ever growing list of distinguished members.
    This was an interesting meeting because it was decided that the SCALe members would all participate in constructing a classical guitar. Each member will take turns working on the project. Once completed the instrument will be used for publicity and then sold to benefit the groups future plans. We may end up will five instruments or five attempts to make one instrument. This may sound funny but Gary bought enough wood to make five necks so he as cut out five neck blanks. We will see what the future brings. There willl diffinitely be room for error. Erickson Guitars is donating the materials for the project all we need to do is provide the labor. Sounds fun. Can't wait to continue the project.
