I really am starting to get into CAD and CAM software like autodesk autocad and invento as well as mach3 and solid works... I would love to hear from anyone who is in the same boat as I am, learning more about DXF AND DWG files for designing and manufacturing via CNC machines. In other words, building musical instruments like: guitars, amplifiers, tube amps, bass guitars, effect pedals, and I also manufacture musical instrument cleaner/polish, etc. My company is newer and so this takes up most of my time. I love most genres of music - as well as fine arts and visual arts. I love mixed medias, graf, abstract, as well as traditional art from various periods of time. Let me know if you are an artists, I would love to support you and check out your work! All of us at Carlson Musical Instruments love to stay up on the local music scene, so if you are a musician (or a promoter) please let us know of when are where your concerts are at, we will try to show up and check you out! There's a lot more, so THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED SOON! I have been saying that for a while, but really, we will update this puppy!
I'd like to meet:
YOU!!! Nah, really-- I am looking to meet and network with anyone who is involved in the music industry. If you don't play the guitar, or any other instrument, that's cool too, I like to meet new and different people, especially people who have a different way of thinking or expressing themselves. If you still don't fit into any of those profiles, don't worry I will still be your friend even if you are a boring basic run of the mill person. We need you too, so us weirdos are... uh... weird! But going back to the music heads out there, I would like to meet anyone who plays my gear, as a matter or fact I would love to meet anyone who has an opinion regarding guitars, amps, effect pedals, or any other musical instruments / gear...... I would like to also meet anyone who builds guitars, amps, or anything related... I WANT FEEDBACK REGARDING MY PRODUCTS, and I would love to hear ideas of what needs to change in the music industry and how I could do that....
OK, so really.... I would like to meet Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, and a few other GUITAR LEGENDS. I would also love to meet Yo-Yo Ma... (I have already met Lynn Harrell and Janos Starker). Joshua Bell would be cool to meet, I have seen him in concert a few times, but have never bothered to stalk him down after a concert... I don't even know why I am writing this. Oh well.
Merry Christmas from Carlson Guitars! Hope you are all doing well! Feliz Navidad and have a Happy New Year! :-)--Carlson Guitars--
Music:
What a wonderful subject to have on an "about me" page.... Music is where it's at!!!
We would love to hear your music, as well as potentially talk about endorsing your band!
Ok everyone.... Here is the deal: My name is Levi and my wife's name is Marisol, and we own Carlson Guitars (CMIW, LLC.). Not only do we try to produce great gear for musicians, we also endorse a number of artists. I am feeling lazy (tired) at this time, so I will fill this out later... in the mean time.... Take care, and thanks for letting me blog.... or whatever it is called....
