Gus Creek Cutaway
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 is a cutaway body, sunburst finish on top, back and sides, and has some beautiful curly maple for the body.
