In this leftie OM, Macassar
Ebony was used for back and sides: quite a
challenge to bend! But the resulting tone was
rewarding: really bright and loud. Ideal for finger
pickers.
Miss Abby
Cutaway OM
Here's a guitar that I recently built
for young Miss Abby (see endorsers section).
Rosewood back and sides, cocobolo fingerboard,
custom mahogany/ MOP rosette, tree of life neck
inlay. Believe me, she's being played a lot these
days...
One of my first...
From my vault !
My first decent 000... It seems like
yesterday, well....almost.
the Dove
No frills here, just wood...
In this case, no fancy inlays: let the
wood shine. Figured walnut back and sides, sitka
top, curly koa binding throughout, Gotoh 510 tuners
with ebony knobs.
cool ukes
Ukulele Fest
At some point, I was left with smaller pieces of
figured walnut and curly maple: not large enough for
guitars but...big enough for some tenor-size ukes.
Cool little dudes...
tHe windmill
Melange des genres...
Here's a pretty exotic one that I
built quite some time ago: a full-size Dread with a
3-piece quilted mahogany/maple back and quilted
mahogany sides. And to spice things up a bit, I
built it left-hand!
