MF AV Team Trip Blog

November 13-16, 2007 – Bill and I ventured down to Anaheim. We weren’t there for Disneyland, we weren’t there for NAMM (that’s in January). We were there to visit SKB Cases, the finest molded case company there is! The innovation behind this company and the technology that goes into ensuring the finest quality is amazing! So amazing, even the military uses these cases on a regular basis!

We filmed the processes involved and instead of the wood smells and aromas we were used to with the several guitar factories we have visited this year, we had the aroma of plastic… nice hot plastic. The nice thing is the place was we vented, so it really wasn’t bad at all.

I encourage you to look through these pictures! The factory tour will be coming soon on the Musician’s Friend and Harmony Central websites!

On October 10th we took over the stage at the Craterian Theater in our own town. Fortunately, Jeff Pevar lives close by and we had him join us to help show off the new Gibson 339, and as well as a new Rogue electric guitar, which he quite enjoys.

To give you some idea of who Jeff Pevar is, he has played with legends such as Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Marc Cohn, Crosby & Nash, David Crosby, and is a part of CPR (Crosby, Pevar, & Raymond). The list goes on: CSN, Donald Fagen & NY Soul, Graham Nash Band, Rickie Lee Jones, and so many more you can see at www.pevar.com.

You will see in the photos how we were able to use lighting, and the openness of the stage to create a very comfortable environment for all of us! We hope to do many more shoots in this space, and this one has set a new bar for us!
