Clinesmith 2014

Post by Isaac Akuna »

Happy New Year everyone. 2013 was great. I've had an opportunity to work with Todd for the last 12 months in anticipation of adopting one of his creations. Steelers are a very fortunate artistic community. We have two of the finest craftsmen and classiest guys among us in the form of Todd Clinesmith and Rick Aiello. They've made it a fun journey.

Here's one of Todd's latest in the final stages. I can almost taste it !

Hi Bill , The guitar itself weighs in at 28.5 lbs., and the standard case is 20.5 . Todd makes a travel case which is a bit heavier at 28 lbs. Gonna hit the gym... :lol:

Good things come to those who weight-lift.

It's a beauty Mike. Congrats. You hauling a double 10 around means that you're not only that much stronger,but you also have 25% more brain cells than me. The air around here is heavy with anticipation. This one is going to hit the ground running.
