Greetings all and Happy Holidays. This is an important post in that I want to announce that I am severing any ties to Antonio Guitars. I have been receiving a lot of contact from very concerned people that Augustin has had questionable dealings and behavior with other companies/artists and that continuing any collaboration with him would begin to reflect badly on me. I don't wish any ill towards Augustin and hope that he will prosper but he no longer has any type of licensing agreement with me for the use of any of my designs. Please pass this word along through the forums, etc. Thank you all!! Ken

Happy New Year everyone!! I'll have a post about the build list momentarily but I want to let everyone know that I've been having fatal problems with my [email protected] email account. It's been glitching pretty badly for a while now and a few days ago, it started completely crashing and won't let me access it at all. I'm working to set up a new computer and recover that but it may take a few days so please bear with me. Cheers, Ken

I'm quite late posting this but I'm participating in the "North Coast Open Studios" this year after a couple years break and, of course, the restrictions from the last few years. I'm doing both weekends so if you're not able to make it today, there's next weekend as well. Cheers, Ken

Thank you to everyone who entered into the lottery for a spot on this year's build list. It's closed now so I just need a few days to sort through everything (there were a LOT of entries) and then I'll let everyone know. Cheers, Ken

Happy New Year everyone!! As many of you might already know, I only accept new orders starting Jan 15th of each year. In years past, that window was open for as much as 8 weeks whereas last year, the build list was filled in three days. Since then, I have been absolutely inundated with requests to place orders for guitars. FAR too many to accommodate so I've had to devise a lottery for the available spots. Giving it much thought, I deduced that it needn't be more complicated than a simple number guess. If you wish to join in, send me an email ([email protected]) and give me your guess of a number between 1 and 999. I will accept "entries" for 4 weeks (so all those who wish to participate may do so) and the 12 that are closest to my number will gain a spot on the 2022 Build List. (Only one entry per person will be accepted, no exceptions. I will also be reworking my info/prices to reflect the increases in operating and material costs). Given the amount of emails this last year, there will be quite a few entries so, as much as I hate that it will happen, many of you will be disappointed and will need to try again next year. I'm hoping that I'll only need to do this for a couple of years but this is the most fair way I could think of to deal with the situation. Thank you all for your understanding and for supporting my work!! Cheers, Ken

Happy Holidays Everyone!! How ever you celebrate this time of the year, I wish you all the very best!!

Here's a post for a fun exercise, on my way to a gig some time back, my friend Nick Talvola (truly amazing trumpet player) posed this question to me: "What would be your dream car from your birth year?" That took some serious thought!! After considering some of my favorite cars from 1956, the MB 300sl, the Porsche 356, Ferrari 250gt, I decided that the BMW 507 spoke to me the most. Anyone out there want to try the same challenge?
