Gus Creek...S/N 015
I designed this guitar while I was in Seattle. I had an Engelmann top that was too small for most guitars that I had built before, so I drew a small body that would fit the wood. I really liked the shape that resulted, and the deep body gives it a surprisingly big voice.
This specific guitar has my sunburst finish on the top, back and sides as well as some beautiful curly maple.
