After looking at those picture i feel sense of shame. I think my work space is everything opposite to what i see here. I AM INSPIRED

Allen, Your workmanship look s excellent! I would love to hear a sound clip, will you be posting one?

In 1976 I was fortunate enough to live in Argentina where i was introduced to the guitar, My Father who was passionate about music had a guitar made for me by Jose Yacopi (a famouse Argentine Luthier) This is where the seed was planted and has been growing ever since. What you see in the images is a...

Is there a reason why Spanish Ceder is not used for Accoustic Guitars? I know Mahogany is ussed on Classicals I see that NG rose wood is now being used as i...

Remind the boss how much entertainment a finished guitar will create. Thats the line i take.

Thanks for the heads up on the show Kiwigeo, It was very interesting if not somewhat inspirational.

Any opinions on Non Kerfed Linnings? Ie laminated solid ones similar to what some classical builders use. Also is there an opinion on material used for laminated Linnings. Does anyone think that there is any accoustic difference or has demenstrated that there is accoustic differences in kerfed non k...
