Wow ..been really quite here lately!
I am going to be Myrtle for one week golf trip next week and was thinking of maybe taking a drive to see Splawn's showroom and meet Scott. Have any of you guys been there and is there actually a showroom open to public?
Not sure how long a drive it is from Myrtle but my guess would be around an hour?
Depends if my buddy puts the rental van in both our names too.......he won't be interested in coming as he doesn't play guitar.

Hey Briman, I would just contact Scott and let him know you are coming and you'd like a 15 min tour. That's what I'd do. I have not been there but I've heard Scott is more than willing to show people around. I believe he has a storefront based on the pics I've seen but I think it is mostly for his guitars. Could be way wrong. Another idea, would be to contact one of the original members here, like VomHalen, or someone that has been there before. See all the 'SplawnCon' threads. If I'm ever in that area I would def do the same. Yeah - it has been super slow around here. There is more discussion of Splawn on Rig-Talk than here. I think this site is more left over from the bygone era when Splawn was still relatively new and their was lots of activity here. Let us know what happens of course, old pic I found somewhere...  |

Thanks Splawndude that is good idea. I will send Scott an email. He usually responds quickly. Would be cool just to see the shop and where these master pieces are created. Would love to see the guitsrs too.
I will let you guys know what happens.
Hopefully it picks up around here again.

Not sure. I was trying to see the headstocks of the guitars on the wall to see if any were Splawn guitars. But I'm not sure. Looks like there are some PRS there though. And the tiger stripe may be an ESP George Lynch...?

We had to evac Myrtle early due to Hurricane! Never got to visit Splawn.

Too bad man...glad you're ok though.
On a separate note, my wife and I are planning to move to S.C. In about a year or so. Maybe Charlestown county area. Not really sure yet but we want to stay relatively near the coast.
