I'm putting the finish on the Licoln Bass Guitar I've been working on for quite some time. I'm hoping that this will be a piece that people can't stop talking about online and hopefully generates a significant amount of traffic as well as commissions. This is a really fun piece to work on. I have another commission I will be starting as soon as I am finished with the bass. Hopefully within the next week or so I will have pictures of the final instrument as well as some video on youtube. Here's a few more picts. Now go tell the world!

I've had a lot of people asking me about builds for Christmas. I'm happy to say that a few have actually ordered and I'm very excited about taking on the projects. There is nothing more amazing than getting a gift that some one had made for you. Not that someone made it for you, but that was custom ordered and built by a craftsman just for you. I will be happy to share some photos and stories after the Holidays regarding 2009 Holiday guitars. I don't want to spoil any surprises.

If you would like to order a completely customized guitar as a Holiday gift, please do so by the end of November. If you want a complex build, please try and do it sooner. I will do my best to fill the orders, but building instruments one by one is very time consuming a labor intensive. And I love it!

Please visit my guitars home page and contact me regarding custom instruments. Stick-in-a-box guitars are quick, but please leave four weeks just to be safe. Anything more elaborate than that needs to be ordered soon. I'll be starting a batch of guitars this week. Don't delay and get into my queue for the last of 2009 guitar builds.
