SOLD SOLD SOLD JUST PAINTED: Model 35 in “Acid Wash Black” stain. I have a new guy on the shop crew, and I decided to run a Model 35 through a build cycle here to show him the ropes. The guitar is extra, and tunred out great! I decided to try a new stained paint job on it, kind of like one of my smoke models but VERY rustic. The paint work is done and the lacquer will be cured in a week or so. I have the pickups tentatively set in the body, but not mounted yet. I’m thinking antique gold tuners, gold hardware, and these hand wound Kent Armstrong pickups. Check out that back too- it’s super figured Sitka spruce. Looks like a boat through water or something. Yessss!!!

About the guitar’s special Sitka Spruce soundboard (from my spruce guy in Alaska):

“the float the log is from that had my sons house on it in from 1955 – 2011
Here it is. You will enjoy some of the other pics here.
It was part of Gildersleave logging camp that operated in SE Alaska from 1955-2000
That float and house was purchased by JR Gildersleave from a fishtrap Company that operated in Coffman Cove.
Lashings of 1 1/4″ galvanized cable was replaced every 10-15 yrs or so. and occasionally a log would get replaced, if it was too toredo bug damaged[holey] and lost flotation. 12″ spikes were driven through 4×6 yellow cedar beams that the 2×12 red cedar deck was nailed to.”

Cool story! The wood was underwater for 50+ years!! Natural seasoning and aging! RARE.

Heres a quick and dirty sound test I did with the guitar:

First section is a chromatic test and some chords of the guitar and amp through my phone mic, to get a little combined acoustics and amp sound combined. The mic isnt the greatest and has some dead spots (probably compression in the mic software or something).

2nd section is the same test as above with the amp mic’d only (Zoom H5 mic). Amp is Henriksen “The Bud”

3rd section is me shedding “Self Duo” style over a tune I’m writing (kill 2 birds with one stone as they say haha!). Drum track is from the phone app “Drumgenius“- this app is FUN you should get it!


 –      <<<SOLD>>> April 1, 2016- I also have this instrument I made for myself, I like it ALOT! But i thought I’d post it on this page too since I have bills haha 😉 – I really like the black one above as well so depending on which sells I’ll just keep the other one. 14 x 1-3/4 (356 x 40.5mm) body, 25″ (635mm) scale, Italian woods, chambered Sugar Pine, Honduras mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, Throbak PG-102 Vintage PAF pickups. Usually $4725 w case – in stock price $4250 plus shipping.   <<<SOLD>>>
