May 2016

The Bellanca Archtop is all wired and I have played a few gigs with it.  The 15” body is very comfortable.  I think I am going to make this a standard model.

It has a 25” scale and a 12” radius neck and is a sweetheart to play.  I would have a hard time selling this one  and will probably keep it for a while.


                                     



                                     



I have a 000 12F slot head almost ready to come back from finish.  Adi/double side Mahogany.  I am excited to see how it sounds.



                               



                              



I just finished a restoration of a 20’s Stahl/Larson Bros. parlor guitar.  Brazilian Rosewood with major back and side cracks and in need of a neck reset, bridge plate repair, and purfling reconstruction.  It turned out well and is a delight to play.  

It is so light you can feel the whole guitar vibrate against your body with even the lightest touch. A real sweetheart!


                                  



                                  


Jeff Molde’s size 2 is coming along nicely.  Jeff is a quick study and we are having a lot of fun.  I look forward to his visits.

Looks like the next batch will include a Brazilian Rsoewood OM and possibly another double side Mahogany size two.
