Holy cats, that's a long title for an episode, but Sully's guests for this week have a lot of things going on. Rob's a grpahic designer by trade, but that hasn't kept him from opening a guitar themed brew pub, building his brand with Hi-Tone Guitars, or building challenging new guitars for The Wildflower Festival each spring. Paul can help your pet (he's an emergency veteranarian), as well as build you something under his brand, Black Watch Musical Instruments, as well as CNC inlay services. They both work together in Guys Building Guitars Club, which meets monthly at the Rockler in Richardson, TX.
