New Body Style Almost Done

This guitar will be ready for delivery in about two weeks. It is a new body style that will eventually become a hollowbody. This one is a light solidbody version with mahogany, aspen, and wenge. I think it is a very beautiful piece that should sound pretty cool.

Again, thanks for the patience in lack of updates. Things have been worse than busy recently between work, getting ready for a new baby, and work...

Weekend Work

So, here a couple of shots of what has been getting done - which admittedly is not as much as I want. I am redoing major parts of my house right now in preperation for a our new baby, so things are busy.

Rye's coco back - profiling the back braces
Rye' s sides - bowl sanding in preperation for kerfed linings.
Roessler's neck - FB getting glued up
Roessler's guitar pieces - getting close.
And finally- the new design element offered with my acoustics - a removeable sound attenuator and artistic accent. Shown here in Goodrich's Bryleigh

Rosettes, Cocobolo, and Inlay


So I just finished up one of the headplates for the ziricote twins that are still not out of my shop yet :(. It is purfled and everything//.This is Jake Rye's beautiful cocobolo back for his GA. I LOVE COCOBOLO! Quite frankly I think it is as beautiful as wood can come - and consistently so.
And here are all the installation shots of Feldman's rosette. I used segemented pearl and ebony for the soundhole binding.


Been a while

So I have a lot to post. Below you will see the beginnings of a beautiful new mahogany bass that I am working on with custom single coil pickups. I will also be debuting a new 'body' pickup in conjunction with the standard electromagnetic coils,
The pictures below are all the recent developments on DGoodrich's bryleigh series. Very earthy guitar, but is coming along really well!
