Had a surprise visit from my friend, Nathan today. He brought by his very special, homemade Jouhikko. I even got a tune out of the deal.
Nice work!
Jouhikko!

- If you start something and then just keep coming back, days become weeks become years. Suddenly, you find yourself doing a jig in your 18th year of business. Happy day to me.

- This #gibsonfirebrand has come full circle. While doing a refret, I trued up the fingerboard, which was a bit bumpy. I also ended up doing a rewire with all new parts (except the pickups.) The electronics had been worked on a lot over the years, and apart from being dirty, they were really sloppy. I was putting the finishing touches on the project when the old, plastic nut snapped in two. Alas, I’ll have to wait a bit longer to rock—time to install the bone nut I built today and do a final setup.
