I met Issac in Kathy’s Workshop before he was established as a builder.
He learned from one of the very best.
I rally enjoyed my visit with Larry at the shop. I’m wearing my Shop T shirt.
I purchased a Charmed Life pick. It’s loaned to a friend along with my Gibson F9 mandolin. He’s knocked out and wanting to get a pick.
My only SCGC OM was Mahogany and Adirondack. I used a blindfold test and played 5 OMs in 1999. All felt the same, but the one I chose over BRW, EIR, and top woods of Sitka and Euro Spruce had the rumble and roar with a sparkle in the high end.
It’s long gone, sold for expensive auto repairs.
Its replacement is BRW and Adirondack.
You will be very happy with yours.
I bought a T shirt and a Charmed Life pick. When I handed him a 50 dollar bill he said he doesn’t take cash because he doesn’t want to get robbed. I added a fiver and suggested he get something for the wife on his way home.
Larry Sokolow is the owner and guitar lover. He has a well played and loved OM/PW. He decided to open a SoCal shop to spread the Cruz Love.
He has multiple OMs and an F. The OM Grand has the luscious Steinway sound on the low strings. The F and brand new Walnut/Euro Spruce OM are exquisite.
The space has a stage for Open Mics and performance. Its a sweet spot and Larry is wonderful.

Over the years I’ve had plenty of odd ball amplifiers. I’ve kept the GK and Hughes and Kettner BluesMaster.

Sounds good. I’ll see if I can get Svea and Gretchen to make it. Gretchen has a 000 and Svea had one of the Steve Swan 1942 Dreads.
Due to my truck overheating while leaving Lake Tahoe and now sitting in an auto shop parking lot for the next week, I’m not going to Santa Cruz this month. 0nce the truck is examined and the estimates come on for repairs, I’ll be returning to Tahoe to drive it home or declare it junk.
