Resonator


I built this resonator out of Mahogany and a Dobro style spyder and cone. The cover and tailpiece I made from brass. The tailpeice has an aluminum structure under the brass which allows for adjustment of downward pressure on the saddle.

My Double-Ought Six Flat-top




This is a 00 size guitar I like to build in the spirit of the 30's Gibson L-00. It has a carbon fiber reinforced neck, is made ot Adirondack Spruce and Mahogany. Sounds incredible with plenty of bass and volume. These Guitars are very responsive, Ray Wylie Hubbard won't give me the first one I made back.
