CURRENT PRODUCTION

NEW BATCH STARTING May 20085

    Over the years I have found that my customers love to watch their guitar while it is being built.  However, in this age of internet sales it is not always (or even often) possible for them to come to my shop for a periodic "show and tell."  So, many years ago I decided to put up a series of pages which describe, both verbally and photographically, the progress of the guitars in my current production batch (I generally make 9 or 10 guitars in a batch.  Listed below are the guitars in my current batch.  Click on the link and go to the specific page for each guitar.  Since many of the steps are quite generic, there are also pages of generalized photos showing the progress of the current batch.  To see these pages, look HERE. 

Some of these guitars are being built for the Healdsburg Guitar Festival.  They are so marked but are available for pre-sale.
