mushy the shroom Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hey, I'm not sure if anyone posted something about this yet, but I did a search, and.. nothing. So here's the deal: Guitar Player Magazine did a short feature column on Project Guitar in their "Web Alerts" column, in their January 2005 issue.. wait.. it's only November! WEIRD! Anyway, I don't have a scanner, so I'll just type out the short blurb: WEB ALERT PROJECTGUITAR.COM Here is where to go if you've ever desired to build or radically transform an electric guitar- or if you'd simply like to see what "underground" guitar makers are up to. The site is a veritable treasure trove for DIY enthusiasts, with tutorials on topics such as building and finishing, electronics, setup, maintenance and repair. There's also a Reference section with links to hundreds of pertinent sites, a Gallery with dozens of instruments on display, and an Interactive Forum. Shown here (picture below) is the one-of-a-kind Geisha Girl guitar built by James Larson, and customized for its current owner, Henry Kaiser, who requested the large squid inlay on the neck.-Barry Cleveland Short, but flattering. It even has a screen shot of the main page, complete with the GOTM October winners. This is kinda interesting because I remember a similar blurb about an Amp Building site, and I thought "Wow! What's next? Project Guitar"? Cool stuff! Quote Link to comment
LGM Guitars Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Sweet! congrats PG, and it's cool that it was october, that means a leviathan has graced the pages of a magazine LOL!!! I might have to pick that issue up if I can find it Quote Link to comment
bigdguitars Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 coolio if we only did an IPO for project guitar we could all become millionairs.... Or at least Brian would :-) Good good news for sure! Quote Link to comment

Brian Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I knew something was up when they contacted me awhile back, now it's official Quote Link to comment
rob Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 wow, thats pretty damn good! the word is being spread. Do you know if it will appear in any UK guitar mags Quote Link to comment
effluoDeus Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I just noticed the article this morning. That was great! I wish they'd have mentioned the forums and maybe showed one from one of our members instead of James Larson.(dont get me wrong I love Girl Brand, even enough to model my first with some of his design elements but it woulda been cooler to see one of Drak's or Lgm's pieces featured down at the bottom.) Congrats Brian! Quote Link to comment
skibum5545 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Man, I'm proud to be a member! I knew this place had it in it to be one of the greatest guitar resources on the web, and now I guess it's official. Congrats, Kevin and Brian; now I guess the GOTM competition actually means something! Quote Link to comment
Kevan Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 That's pretty darn cool. Good job, Bri! Now I know why you wanted me to come in here and get the place cleaned up. :-) Congrats to all the PG members as well. This place is nothing but a DNS entry without you guys. Quote Link to comment
mushy the shroom Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I think there should be a feature in Guitarist.. arguably the best guitar magazine out there, and it's from Britain... which means it costs me a crap load to get it over here. Quote Link to comment
