Bourgeois Vintage OM Custom

How much fun would it be to pick on this little number today?

Whitfill

Yes folks, this is a brand new guitar.  The destressing process here is referred to as "Relic'd."

Manzer Metheny

Linda made thirty of these guitars--and there is only one left.  I would take it home tomorrow except for the price tag.  I wonder does the pick (lower right) come with it?

GPCPA4

And how about a new Martin?  I would have no trouble adding this to my weaponry.

Christina Kobler Crossover

Christina playing the very first notes on this incredible crossover guitar.

Under Construction--Part Nine

Looking good!

Aaron Morris Guitar

Nice guitar Michael Reno--nice hat too!  And isn't that Doc Watson in the background photo playing an Aaron Morris guitar?

Webb Wilder

Another grand old D-18

1956 0-18T

1956 Martin 0-18T Tenor acoustic: Adirondack Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides. This little gal has a very sweet, well balanced tone; a strong but restrained voice that cuts through a mix. This model was only available as a special order from 1929-1993. The tenor guitar gained popularity in the early part of the 20th century as banjo players started gravitating towards the guitar, but didn't want to learn a whole new set of chords and scales, the tenor guitar being tuned the same as a tenor banjo. This model was played by Nick Reynolds of the Kingston Trio, and was reissued in a limited number of 34 upon the 40th anniversary of the Trio in 1997.

Grit Laskin

A Grit Laskin guitar and a Newfoundland T-shirt.  What else do you need?

Oskar Graf Guitar

Some of the finest guitars anywhere in the world are made right here in the Ottawa area.  Shouldn't you pay a visit to a local luthier?

Christina Kobler Guitar

Again, you've got to love the lady luthiers.

Work in Progress

Tickling steel strings is one of life's greatest pleasures.  The hand of a lady luthier has proven to be a necessary ingredient.  I believe the ladies have taken guitar building to a new level--they do not simply build instruments--they give them birth.

Under Construction--Part Eight

You gotta love that first little bit of gleam!

Under Construction--Part Seven

Ready for French Polish.  

Washburn Hawk

Looks like Bob Marley's guitar.

SJ on the Dock

You just never know where this old cowboy might show up with this great 1967 Gibson Southern Jumbo.

Under Construction--Part Six

Does this picture tend to make you just a little uneasy?  You must have very strong faith in your luthier.

Under Construction--Part Five

The neck is on, but still lots of work before the first tunes.

Under Construction--Part Four

As we move forward, excitement is definately called for.

Peggy White Sunburst

This Peggy White guitar is the bomb!  You pick it up--and it plays you.  After playing this guitar I just had to ask the question--Who is Peggy White?  If you don't already know--keep your eye on this blog.

Under Construction--Part Three

Or how about that Acacia fretboard binding--or would you prefer the ebony binding shown in yesterday's photo?
