By now all the 10 foot sculptures have been completed and turned in and the playable guitars have been fitted with strings and hardware. The ticket cut-off for the $125.00 a person May 31st gala has passed and the June 1st Friday Night Live unveiling is but two weeks away.
I'm still meeting alot of Waukesha folk who have heard little to nothing of GuitarTown. Surprising, because I've seen lots in the paper and even on TV news... but then I'm following it all. Keeping the guitars under wraps until the unveiling for the benefit of the sponsors seems to have a detrimental effect on the ability of getting the word out. Placement of the sculptures will be even more important, hopefully near a well-travelled road, for visability because word isn't getting out like it should be.
I was honored and privileged to take part in the Harley parade through Waukesha Tuesday night when Tom Noll delivered his "The Founder" 10' sculptural guitar to Marshall Auto Body for clearcoating. I saw four additional sculptures there and was thoroughly impressed. It was great meeting Tom and his family for the first time and appreciative to Tom for the tour of his home and studio. Also appreciative to Mike Krumenacher, a friend of Tom's, who allowed me to ride on the back of his cycle so I could take pictures.
