Again very nice Ed,  I love the intricate work you do on your guitars, just one question are these all one offs, or do you have a catalog and these are part of that catalog  Not a guitar builder myself, i would imagine that these take some time to build, yes, What with the intricte work on them, they cant be mass produced, or can they Have you a shop in Nashville to sell them at, or shops in other part's, or do you sell them on line. great guitars love them M8  |

I do have that flag on one as well as a British flag. That was a Gibson that I built at the factory in the custom shop with my friend Phil. So the anwser to both questions is yes. And by the way,that cat I taught to play. He would follow my finger and hit the note with his paw.I used to take him with me to play,the first large crowd he was a little freaked but he got over it. Then one day some bastard ran over him....I sure do miss him. His Name was Elmore.

Nice guitar Ed I bet old Elmore did freak out when he saw the crowd  what did you carry him on stage in, mine would run a mile,  I would have loved to see your cat play the guitar, |

The only thing wrong with that guitar is that it ain't at my house. Another job well done. What's the average time to make one of those beauts? I know each one is different, but just a ballpark figure. And just how do we get one of those Harrison Specials? Or can we. Ed, have you ever thunk about buildin guitars for a livin, looks like you're a natural. I think demand would be greater than supply. Hey, but don't take my word for it, I'm just an old guitar hack from way back. But I do like what I see.

time varies as to the type of build,the more inlay the more time. it can take anywheres from a week to a month. I used to build on a larger scale,but my sickness has slowed it to just a few a year. as I am the only one building them now. I stll take orders but on a small scale only.you tell me what you want,I see what the matireals cost and base on how much time. you can get me at Harrisonguitars@yahoo.com

Elmore,was used to large crowds,I started him from a kitten he was a shoulder cat. You could'nt put him in a carrier,after his solo I would have a woman take him to the dressing room and take care of him until I got back. he was the life of the back stage parties. The man that hit him was on the otherside of the roadand came into my yard to hit him,ASPCA charged the man he got jail time but not enough for me..... I have a song (goodbye to Elmore) where I used an old recording of elmore playing and used it in the song. By far that is my most personal song,even today. When you have an animal who thinks hes human its easy to get close to them. Hes the only guitar playing cat Ive seen. And I dont think there will be any others....I look foward to seeing him again in the next life....Ed

And I dont think there will be any others....I look foward to seeing him again in the next life....Ed That cat sounds as if it was part human, i can see how you got so attached to it, and Elmore sounds like a right character, i would have loved to have been able to see the show, sounds cool I had a stray dog that adopted us as his family, he was a stray that some asshole had dumped on the mountain side where we live, and he came knocking on our door, wet, hungry, wild as a wolf (and looked like one), and he stayed with us for 14 years, and his death hurt like hell, and i said then that i would never get another dog, because it was like losing a child or a close family member, So i can see how you must feel about loosing him, sorry to hear that Ed, you have my sympathy. Why did that asshole come into your yard and kill Elmore , did you find out why, I would have ripped his head off, frigging asshole, |
