Exact copy of a 20 year old board that saw regular use?
Two questions: Q1. Do you want the exact copy of the new board fresh off the sanding rack with all that new volume, spring and liveliness? Or a copy of the 20 year old with reduced volume from desk squish, foot "wells" next to the stringer, less spring and more character? Q2. If you asked Susan Tedeschi to play "Angel from Montgomery" just like Bonnie Raitt, what do you think would happen? Assume she doesn't have a cast iron frying pan nearby. |

First, magic board are born, not duplicated. Good luck! Second, Neilson as great guy and shaper. And, importantly, why not John Prine?

First, magic board are born, not duplicated. Good luck! Second, Neilson as great guy and shaper. And, importantly, why not John Prine? Twenty years ago I tried a buddy of mine's Funshape. Some old timers may recognize the shaper whose boards were called "Pineapple." The second I got on it I loved it. I took it to our local shaper Eric Swanson of Inner Rhythm and he copied it. It was true to the original and that has been my "magic board" for 20 years. So I agree, magic boards are born, but they CAN be cloned. Unfortunately Eric is not able to commit to making me a 2nd clone at this time. Only in the last year or so I've noticed a decline in the board's character primarily it getting heavier. So yes, I want the characteristics of when it was new. No need for the shaper to work it over with a ball-peen hammer! ------------------------- Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean Edited: 12/04/2019 at 06:34 AM by daner |
