“My love for woodworking involves a constant exploration of new techniques and ideas”. ~ Me haha.

So out of everything that i have built over the years I enjoy building instruments the most. theres just something about the freeform nature of guitars that really gets me going. you can combine any species of wood to produce not only visually pleasing pieces, but pieces that have they’re own voice.

#7 was a combination of quartered Sapele, curly blackwalnut, curly maple, cherry and ebony.

Sweet guitar there, I also wish I had some music talent as the wood in this guitar just makes me want to be able to play.

I love it. I looks classy but it also has the hard edges that make it look like a real shreddin axe.
I want to make one someday.

thanks for all of the positive feedback guys.

I build everything from scratch. this model was a full neck through, meaning the maple-cherry-maple that you see runs all the way up. ill get a pick of the back to show it.

what part of the neck construction did you have a problem with tommy?

Awesome, I’ve toyed with the idea of building a guitar or a mandolin.
