Some of you asked to hear my first guitar, pictures that I had posted earlier. You can hear a sample at my home page http://www.likekestrings.com Brian Butler, a Northwest blues musician, was kind enough to allow me to record him playing my guitar. Attachment: likeke.jpg

hi Ricardo thats a very nice looking guitar and unusual with the double soundholes which I like a lot. Can you say what took your fancy to build your first that way?. well done! Geordie |

Geordi, I wanted to build a smaller guitar for comfort (a la 000), but not sacrifice volume and tone. Steve Grimes is my inspiration. He made a presentation to the local Seattle Luthiers group where he described his theory that a large uninterrupted soundboard produced larger sound. It also allows lighter bracing. He has built guitars for Keola Beamer, George Benson and Willy Nelson to name a few. Check his site out (www.grimesguitars.com). I wanted to test the theory myself so I used a 000 plan and used the modified soundhole and bracing. Its been compared side by side with a Martin 000-18, a Collings and a various Taylors with very favorable results. So I'm sold on the concept. Thanks for asking. Rich |

Some lutes and viholas had the double or triple soundhole thing going also, way back when. It sounds almost dobroish, "perfect" for a blues geet. |
