GC Guitars Getting Closer

The GC Guitars should be ready for delivery this weekend.

Ziricote Bryleigh Update

Well, though I wanted to build the ziricote twins entirely together, my plans have fallen apart. Now I just want to get one done in time for a show in February. This will be for sale at that time. Anyway, here is a shot of the inspiration of the guitar with the guitar - Bryleigh. You can see the pink macacauba that I will be using for binding in the shot. Hope you enjoy!

GC Guitars Update

These are the finishing photos of the next two guitars coming down the pipe. Obviously, they should speak for themselves, but these are going to be sweet when then they are done. I believe the customer is going to be very happy.

Thanks for looking!

A couple more

This is a shot of Dave Goodrich's granadillo back. Though he does not want a high gloss finish, and oil/ shellac application really brings out the warmth in this wood. In my humble opinion, it sounds 10 times better than it looks.

Then it occurred to me that the ziricote twins were inhabiting the molds that I need to move forward with Dave's guitar, so they have been getting some attention again as well. I glued up the back on #2, and am working on their tops now.

Goodrich's Bryleigh Series

Well, this is an order to be finished sometime in the summer, but I have been getting a head start because I really just felt like working on it. It is a Bryleigh Series for a close friend, with granadillo back and sides and a carpathian top. I used granadillo for both rosette rings as well, and will be using a mixture of sitka and carpathian for the bracewood.

Pete's Finished Bass

Just a couple quick pictures.

Halloween Weekend

Look at that curly maple. CV tonewoods gave me some seriously special wood for these 2 special guitars that I am building.

I had a clamping war with myself. I won.
The neck joint on Ziegenfuss set necks is a bit complicated. Basically, I key it into the back, as well as the top plate, so that I can get the heavy neck to body carve without giving up too much structural integrity.
