 In addition to all the guitar shop projects, I’ve also been working on some of my music that I recorded this year. Here’s the first rough mix of my tune “Chasing the Rainbow”. I’m playing one of the guitars I made for Gilad Hekselman. I didnt own a guitar there for a while (haha… […]  Here’s a rough mixed track of one of the tunes I recorded (on my model 14 semi) Weds night with my band. Pretty fun, the studio is great– it has a 1929 Steinway D piano that is insane! This was the 2nd session for my new disc, first one was some trio in January. Cant […] After a long hiatus working on a different project, I finally am back on VB projects full force, and I’m also making some time to start up the guitar shop blog again! Its good to be back in the saddle. Things have been crazy busy here on all the projects since March of last year […] Soooo… its finally taking shape. Here’s a sneak peek at something I’ve been planning on doing for quite a while. Shop concerts broadcast from my NYC workshop! I’ll be featuring all kinds of artists on the jazz scene here. Mostly guitar oriented stuff of course (thats how I roll haha), but hopefully all kinds of […] Simple and rough Zoom recordings of a rehearsal with my trio a couple weeks ago! This is the core of my recording group. Just working on my tunes, sketching / adapting for trio- some mistakes here and there but also some really nice moments. Cant wait to get some gigs going with these fantastic guys! […]  Here’s a cool archtop guitar that I initially made to have as an inventory offering. Mike Bravos was visiting NYC and by chance I was just finishing it up. He decided to scoop it up after playing it for a while. The guitar has some really special bearclaw spruce for the soundboard that I had for […]  Jan Sturiale came by the shop a few weeks to pick up his guitar (pics coming soon!), he was visiting NYC from his home base in Italy for a string of performances. It was great to meet him, he’s a super cool guy and fantastic player. I thought I’d throw a showcase page up here on […] Here’s a quick and dirty zoom recording of a rehearsal / get together yesterday with some friends. I’m using my personal Model 14″ laminate 7 string as usual. We are playing some of my friend Russ Nolan‘s Latin flavored tunes. He’s a great composer / tenor player here in the city and we are reading through […]  I’m real excited about how my latest Model 14 laminate turned out, I made it purely for inventory which is a rare occurrence these days. I’ve been shedding on an odd meter tune I wrote recently (here’s the chart) and decided to make a little youtube video with the guitar. I recorded a rhythm backing […] Been doing a lot of tweaking on Gilad’s new guitar! He’s been traveling for the last several weeks and left his new axe with me to tweak and adjust. The longer you wait before making final adjustments on a new guitar, the more likely the guitar has finished reacting / settling to the new tension […]  Here’s a track i recorded the other week with my group. Its one of my original tunes yet to be titled. I have to say i have come up with a great recipe for laminate guitars, I really am pleased with the tone. Not all laminate plates are created equal! I use high quality maple […] Lucas is a burning young player going to the New School. He’s got one of my semi 14 Models and is making it sound great!  Ed Cherry is a world renowned guitarist here on the scene in NYC. I thought I’d throw a blog post up with all of Ed’s info and links to his music and great new disc! Ed has a simply fantastic tone, and it AINT the guitar I made him, well maybe a tiny bit :^). […]  Beautiful music and playing as usual from Gilad. If you dont already know about Ghex you should definitely check him out! I’m stoked to have my instruments play a part in his music. Website Itunes Amazon  Here’s a guitar I have available. Its is very unusual for me to have an instrument in stock ready for immediate delivery, I am usually always working on commissioned work. Not sure when i will have a guitar in stock again. It was originally commissioned by my client Bryce Sutherland. Turns out another Model 14 […] Here’s a trio track i recorded the other day with some friends. Its one of my original tunes yet to be titled. I have a great recipe for laminate guitars, i really am pleased with the tone. Not all laminate plates are created equal! I use high quality maple plys for each layer, as well […] |
