We took a three week car trip this winter so things slowed down a bit. Back to work now. I am finishing up my prototype cutaway resonator. It’s strung up and ready for electronics and finish.
It’s pretty cool. It’ll have a fretboard end humbucker and a resonator pickup wired in stereo.
Work continues on my first archtop based on Bob Benedetto’s book and DVD series. I am using laminated maple sides. Finally got the hang of bending that tight cutaway. Back and top are joined and the neck blank roughed out. Another exciting project.

Gluing up the end blocks
I got a client Koa OM back from Addam Stark. He documented the finish of this guitar on his
facebook page . It’s beautiful and almost ready to be strung up.
I am also starting a Mahogany Size 2 for a good friend. I may tart this one up a little
Well that’s about it for now. I’ll have a client Rosewood OM back from finish soon so there is plenty to keep me busy. Check out my stuff at The Podium
