Ruby Custom

Ruby Custom

This Ruby Custom was ordered by a client. It has a custom inlay fingerboard, headstock and bridge that I designed and hand cut. It was bound with abalone on top, bottom, neck and peghead.

In addition, the back and sides are Honduran Rosewood, which produced an amazing sound (listen to the audio clips on the "Check it out...." link).

Clark Fork

Clark Fork "Brazilian"

I had a set of Brazilian Rosewood that had been in my wood stash for quite a few years that cried out to be used.

In addition to the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, was a Red Spruce Top. I used Curly Maple Binding on the body, fingerboard and peghead.

It turned out to be a striking guitar, with a voice to beat all (listen to the audio clips on the "Check it out...." link).

Wise Quilted Mahogany - Front View in a Birch Bark Canoe on Gus Creek

The Wise is my interpretation of a slope shouldered dreadnaught.

What makes this guitar unique is the beautiful quilted mahogany back and sides, the curly maple binding package.........
