Douglas Blair’s Custom Guirar Meeting ’Expose de Blair’ will take place in Turku City Music Library on April 24.
Douglas Blair is the long-time lead guitarist for US-based rock quartet W.A.S.P., relocating to Turku from Boston in 2014. Working with Rock Academy Finland and Ikata School of Guitar Building, he has continued a lifelong exploration and development of applied guitar design. Drawing from decades of self-modification and experience working at and with Ovation Instruments, Parker Guitars and DePergo Custom Guitars, the ESP Guitars endorser/artist has veered in rather radical directions, namely double-neck and double-string concepts.
Douglas’s presentation will begin with discussing the basic concept of personalizing the tools of your trade — namely guitars. He will go through his various stage and studio instruments, highlighting and discussing the ‘hows and whys’ they have to come to become reality, usually from a simple drawing or idea. He will emphasize the importance of these ideas — and ideals — to the progress of his career. Questions and discussion will be welcome at any time, and he will also demonstrate the instruments and their particular traits. Focus will be on a wider scope of perspective, and players and builders alike will find these viewpoints remarkable and unique, in a field known for its traditional path.
