Metroamp in Vintage Guitar Oct '08 issue

Post by VelvetGeorge » Tue Aug 05, 2008 1:07 pm

Just got my October issue in the mail. Inside is our first in a series of 3 articles introducing the company and following the JTM 45 kit build experience. I also (finally) started advertising. Page 151.

Sounds fantastic...VG in VG! :)

So for those of us not subscribing to Vintage Guitar what is the story on how Metropoulos started...what inspired you enough to want to do it and what has surprised you the most and the least about this crazy business!

Perhaps you can (time permitting) start a thread or a column here on the forum and pick a topic, perhaps even record a media file on a topic of the week sort of.
