Question/topic for everyone: How to be consistent, in guitar building.
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I was assembling the latest build early this evening, and I could not stop thinking about how could I do better. Which is a good thing you may think, but in the today era of social media where you can basically follow every of your inspiration as a guitar builder you, well at least certainly me, cannot stop thinking about 'how X can be so damn consistent on every build?'
So I started to wondering if its actually a situation where I can certainly do better, is all a construct of mine or I am too much influenced by what I can see on social media.
Please don't get me wrong, those guitar builder I'm referring to -which I won't mention for obvious reason- are among the very best in the world, so no doubt that what you see on social media is real.
I started to take note on every new build I do, not only mentally but phisically, of the parts I am not satisfied with. Again don't get me wrong, I don't release something I'm not proud of, but as said you can always do better. I take this as a sort of training I do cause after nearly 15 year in guitar making I now have my own authomatism. Which again is good, and bad, cause you can genuflex over authomatism and involountary ignore something you make that can be done better. But, and here's come the tricky part: I steel feel there's a gap between what I do and what I see from others. About which you can respond to me 'there's a reason if they're among the best of the world, and your not', and I would agree over that but, again, perfection it is not our goal it is our tendency.
So please if you feel free to do it, share your experience with me, and us.
