Well, overseas for me at least. :D

I received a commission for 2 guitars built with IRW and German Spruce. One with a 24.9" scale, and the other with a 25.4" scale. To be shipped to Ohio, and they are in the new owners hands now. It was a little daunting to build one guitar, let alone 2 for someone so far away, but a real privilege as well. These instruments will always be very special to me, and the feedback I received from the happy owner has really made my day.

I have some sound clips of both instruments on my website if you are interested in hearing them.

Anyway, the details:

Body - Indian Rosewood
Top - German Spruce
Binding - Cocobolo
Neck - Mahogany
Purfling - Herringbone
Truss Rod - Allied plus 2 CF rods
Finish - Pre Catalyzed Lacquer
