Cool, another episode… I need to catch up! Thanks ago guys for all your hard work and time in putting the podcast episodes together.
It’s great that you can see how truly joyful Happy is to have his own signature guitar. SCGC are definitely “joy brokers”!
Thanks for giving it a listen, the music has an interesting backstory, as does the guitar itself. I’ll start a topic to explain further.
Thanks. Yep, I’m pretty small in stature so a 00 sits just about right for me.
That’s great you’ve got an OM, sounds like the right Goldilocks size guitar for you! : )
Thanks, it really does have a wonderful sound… even in my less than professional hands. : )
I’m actually working on some songs with some friends, we are recording under the name “Redwood Sky,” as a tribute to my guitar and what I see along my favorite hikes on the trails of the Northern California coast.
We have 3 (soon to be 4) songs uploaded on SoundCloud. We’re not making any money off it, it is just to get the music heard. Just curious: is it permissible to create a post with a link to my SoundCloud page so people can hear my SCGC, or is that not consistent with what people should post on the forum?
I don’t want to presume or do anything against the intended spirit of the forum.
Thanks.
Hmm, this is an interesting topic. I wish I could say I’m an avid SCGC fan and collector, but, alas, my budget only allows me to
be an avid SCGC fan and own 1 of their guitars. For me, there was a lot of value in going to Santa Cruz and taking the shop tour with Richard. I took my other (now less loved) guitar and played a few songs and then Richard asked me what I liked about the guitar and what I wished I could change. In the end we settled on a custom 00 based on the Skye model but with Sinker Redwood and Mahogany. As a singer-songwriter who both flat and fingerpicks it is just about perfect for me, it has made me musically monogamous! However, I don’t think I could have verbalized what I was looking for nor could I have had such a satisfying end product without the guidance and expertise of Richard and Carolyn.I never get tired of Richard sharing his wisdom with us! I hope shop tours can safely resume in the not too distant future. Thanks for another fine episode.
I use the SCGC low tension strings on my SCGC 00, and get a wonderful sound. Beautiful balance for the Redwood top.
Thanks for another fine episode. Happy is such a humble, charming individual, can’t wait to see his Signature model!
Mighty fine looking display there, looks great! I’m about halfway through the book and I feel like I learn something new and get a chuckle on just about every page.
Hey John Stubbins, welcome to the forum! My name is Derek and my wife just bought me your book for our anniversary. (#104 that went to California)
It is a wonderful read so far, love the info and the humor. The quality of the book? Well, let’s just say it deserves its place near my SCGC 00.
I highly recommend the book!
