Dagmar Custom Guitars and the Ontario Arts Council





Its been a while since I have posted. I'm on dial up and to upload pictures is a bloody nightmare.

The Ontario Arts Council guitar has been named Gretchen. I am extremely thankful for being given the opportunity and funding to create this double cutaway electric. It rounds off the Dagmar lineup very nicely. After building her and developing my process further I feel confident that I can build any shape ones imagination can dream up.

Gretchen was met with great excitement at The Montreal Guitar Show and was invited into the pages of an upcoming coffee table book. I will share more details at a later date.

I've been concentrating all of my efforts, since the Montreal Guitar Show, on marketing Dagmar Custom Guitars. Its a tiring and frustrating pursuit.

I have found a lot of opportunities out on the old interweb thingy. Three major blogs have written about "Vicky" the Queen's University photonic guitar and rightly so. After all its the introduction to a brand new "never been done before" state of the art technology. You'd think magazines would be quick to pick up the story. Hmmmm..

The push for August will be to do a series of youtube performance videos. I know this will have the most impact on my marketing plan.
