Just finished up with Noah’s guitar which will be shipping tomorrow AM. Whew what a long journey these guitars take. I’m stoked! Its an old school D’Angelico inspired 16″ archtop with his style of split block and burst. Big old sexy recurves on the edges. Freak’n sounds awesome- hopefully I did some justice to the […]  More pics of my current projects. I’m making 3 different 14″ semi hollow guitars, all with a few twists.

Just about ready for hardware, strings and a setup!  Heres some pictures of what Ive been up to the last month. By pure happenstance my wife inquired about available space at a local building in my neighborhood in Queens. It’s called Astoria Soundworks and hosts a whole slew of music type businesses such as several recording studios and rehearsal spaces. By chance they had […]  FINISHED!!!

 Finished! This is the Quilted mahogany semi that I’ve been working on. I’ve been waiting on some hand wound pickups from Kent Armstrong to arrive. They came in right on time and sound fantastic. Pictures dont do justice to the Quilted mahogany at all. Truly 3d and outrageous. I have plenty more and cant wait […]  I am gearing up for my next archtop guitar projects which will begin next week. I thought I’d post some amazing quilted maple I got in from Canada for my client Marty… wow!  I’m still working on my daughter Allie’s guitar! Today is her 5th birthday, hopefully I’ll have it done for her in a week or so!  Ok… so I am very restless with tailpiece design. This will be my 11th production tail that I have come up with for the archtops. I have fun continually designing, and I’m always looking for a balance of ease of use, elegance and (on the shop side) smooth fabrication. This one definitely fits the bill […]  Complete! Here’s the Model 17 Gig Pro I’ve been working on for my client Raffi. Its fun to work on the bigger archtops, and the chocolate burst turned out just as I hoped. Sounds big and fat and plays great.  Finished!!! All finished up and FOR SALE! This guitar turned out great- super tone and very easy to play. Laminate top and back (spruce outer shell on soundboard, flame maple outer shell on back), Spruce center block, Lollar Imperial pickups, ebony fingerboard, new design top loading tailpiece… email me for details! And did I mention […]  Finish Curing Clear coats are on- they just need to cure up for a couple weeks… Gettin there!!!  Allies’ guitar project!!! Neck construction… Squeezed in a little more time on my daughter’s guitar!!! Neck looks like the right size for her little hand…  Assembly / Finishing… Continuing progress on my semi hollow projects! Finally have an acceptable spray set up- got a nice burst on the spruce top one. The quilted mahogany one is off the hook! Clear coats are all on and curing- more pics soon!  Allies’ guitar project!!! bracing and plate prep work… Squeezed in a little time on my little girl’s archtop. Such a fun project. Cracks me up how small the components are…
