I am fixing an acoustic guitar is to be used for 1-3 live performances each month. This guitar will also be used for future studio recordings, festivals and tours. A measurable outcome for this repair would provide a quality sound performance that will invite future performances and bookings. This repair will also increase audience engagement, larger fan base and improve all over sound. A new guitar will provide dependability. Increase bookings: Measure of shows at each venue compared to other repeat performances. Increase audience engagement: Measure will be shown by increased sales, calculating increase in attendance, Dependability: Monitoring issues with guitar how many technical issues I have throughout the year. If there are none, I have met my goal.
I've used the new guitar at three shows without any incidents or issues with the guitar, it's setup, strings, etc.
