Another huge week of progress on all the spring archtop guitars. Man its getting good! Assembly is complete and when the first wash coats of stain and sealer hits the wood its definitely a cool moment. There were some oohs and ahhs all around with this run. The spalted maple top Mini’s look really cool. Super […]
Simple and rough Zoom recordings of a rehearsal with my trio a couple weeks ago! This is the core of my recording group. Just working on my tunes, sketching / adapting for trio- some mistakes here and there but also some really nice moments. Cant wait to get some gigs going with these fantastic guys! […]
Heres a cool little Model 14 archtop for Edu in Ecuador. Compact, small and comfy. 14’s are great! All carved woods with a floating center block (smaller version). These make the guitars much more versatile since feedback is greatly controlled. But the small block size keeps the interior mostly air. I do two sizes, and the […]
Here’s a cool archtop guitar that I initially made to have as an inventory offering. Mike Bravos was visiting NYC and by chance I was just finishing it up. He decided to scoop it up after playing it for a while. The guitar has some really special bearclaw spruce for the soundboard that I had for […]
Jan Sturiale came by the shop a few weeks to pick up his guitar (pics coming soon!), he was visiting NYC from his home base in Italy for a string of performances. It was great to meet him, he’s a super cool guy and fantastic player. I thought I’d throw a showcase page up here on […]

Ive been snapping pictures like a tourist in the […]
Heres the next massive sunday morning gallery of pictures of the latest projects. Theres so much going on its hard to know where to start. The two JazzMini guitars are looking insane- the spalted maple tops are truly amazing. Lots of work done on the Special Edition Koa Model 14 for Patrice Falco, this guitar will […]
Here’s a great little Model 15 guitar that went out to Junho Song last week! Easy to play, woody tone. yes!!
Here are the photo finals for Dave Mosick’s ergo! This guitar has gone through an evolution and I’m very pleased with the results. The previous 2 versions of the ergo (here’s No1, Heres No 2) have had the larger JCustom bridge. While that bridge is a good solution when theres not much out there for […]
