Building...Yes. Mandolin? No... not yet

Here is the front and back of our most recent instrument. "Rocky" is a 000 size with large sound hole and 3/16 inch thicker than standard. Walnut back and sides, spruce top, SE Asian Rosewood fingerboard and Brazilian RW Bridge. All hand made in the shop. The only parts we did not make is the tuners and strings. Enjoy. We have several more in production nearing completion. I will give some more pics in the near future. Currently we are tooled up for 000, Dreadnought, and slothead acoustics. Slope shoulder, jumbo, and acoustic bass guitar are nearing the end of tooling and should be in production soon.

Looks great, when will you post sound clips?

[Paul Busman]

Very nice. I love the "eyes" in that walnut back

[Steve Davis]

A parlor guitar would be nice.

Nice to see your shop turning out instruments.

Goose 2 stopped by the shop today to get some work done on his mandolin. He got to see and play our guitars. The one pictured above was his favorite. Maybe he will post his impressions. We will be happy to post sound clips as soon as we can. I don't really know how to do them and Josh will want to get them up as soon as possible. We should have our first Dreadnoughts ready by the end of next week. They should be equally incredible. More later.

Here are a couple more. The "Fishy" model is concert size with spruce top and highly figured Mahogany rims and outer back pieces. The center insert is black walnut. The 12 fret slothead is a Lefty and is an all mahogany body. These are compound dovetail neck joints, all nitrocellulose lacquer, all hand made in Nashville and the only parts not done in the shop are the tuners and strings. They sound as good as they look and play even better!
