Jazz Guitar

I am excited to be starting work on a commission for an archtop jazz guitar.

Below is a photo of the back, top, sides and neck in their original state as they were shipped to me.  The top is sitka spruce and the back and sides are fiddleback maple.


As you can see below, both the top and back are carved by hand.


Here's the ubiquitous shot of a luthier listening to the tap tones of a guitar top.


I'll keep you updated.
