WEBSITE DOWN TIME

Starting Midnight on Friday, March 28th 2008 (ie. early Saturday morning). For a period of 24-48 hours my main site will be down as the company that hosts my site moves to all new servers. If you need to contact me please feel free to call 517-788-7570 Thanks!

Mike Crixells Sweet LS Koa creation!

Strings this week! And then its off to my good buddy Craig Lavin where it will wait for me to arrive in Miami for the show!

Bitter Sweet.

Always a bitter sweet time when I drop one of my babies in the mail to
head off to there rightful owner for the rest of there days :(
After changing out the Nickel Gotoh tuners for Gold tuners with black buttons (DOH!), I
said good by to Paul F's LS Redwood Cocobolo OMFS. It is now on its way to
to live in New Mexico.
With his out the door, I am concentrating on Mark Cashmans E2 which will be ready for the
Montreal Guitar show, also Jack Wills OMFS Twins. They are all three on the bench now in various
states of completion.
I am very excited about Jacks guitars! They are both made from similar pieces of Cocobolo.
The top on one is Cedar and the other Engelmann. They are braced identical.
Same bridge plate and brace stock. I am very interested in hearing the difference in the voices. The top woods
will be the biggest difference between the two. So this will allow me a great opportunity to A/B them.
More later!

John Creech's Brw D14

An update from the paint booth. John's brw dreadnought getting a nice tobacco burst.

Pauls OMFS is ready to ship!

My good friend and fellow guitar builder Stephen Ziegenfuss is blessed with the camera, he came over last night and took these pictures for me. Thanks Steve!
This is Paul's LS Redwood Cocobolo OMFS that has been featured on this blog over the last two months or so as it came together. It has now been strung up for the better part of a week. It sounds fantastic, I am very happy. Thanks for looking!
