Earlier this week I took some time to head out on the road with Pete Swanson of Dagmar Custom Guitars. Pete was off to Folkway Music in Guelph, Ontario (http://www.folkwaymusic.com/) to show his guitars to Mark Stutman. Mark is recognized as an expert on guitars and as expected he had some great advice for Pete.
I learned some of the fine points of guitar setup from Mark, and he is definitely the person to ask. One indication of the quality of his shop is that every single guitar in the store is immaculately set up. And in tune! That, plus the expert advice, makes it a great place to shop for guitars and well worth the 3 hours on the road there and back for me.
Mark had lots of nice things to say about the Dagmar guitars, and everyone who saw them was amazed at the amount of work Pete Swanson puts into each one. They are all very special guitars, but I was particularly happy to see Eve again. Here’s Eve’s picture:

And speaking of pictures, due to problems beyond my control I could not bring my digital camera, so I had to take a FILM camera! Now, if I can find some place that still develops film, I’ll post those in a week or so!
