Category Archives: Clients Hey all!! Here are 5 of the guitars that are now a wrap from the winter projects. Lots of bread and butter here- I get a lot of requests for the cello brown stain work and its always a great look. Mostly model 15’s, with one amber model 14 semi hollow in the mix. […]  Hey guys, I am super pleased to unveil the next guitar I made for Gilad Hekselman! Woooo! Check out the video- we decided to make a carved version of his old Gibson Howard Roberts model  I have one more Model 15 guitar to post from the fall 2016 batch of guitars, a Model 15 in a cool satin wineburst. Really beautiful maple back yeow! This one has a piezo bridge saddle and a soundhole plug. This one is ready for some GIGS! Going to my guy Jeff in Chicagoland! […]  Here’s a little guy, one of my Model 14 semi’s the last of the fall batch shipping out to it’s new owner today. I really like the sleek black satin vibe, VERY cool i would love to make more of these (and maybe own one too haha!)  Its always nice to hear that people are enjoying the guitar I made for them, but this note from my guy Pete in Philly really made me smile. It’s great knowing that theres a guitar out there that i put together that is now part of someone’s musical journey. REALLY satisfying. Victor, […]  These pics are a little late arriving, I thought I lost them. But they surfaced thankfully- yes! This is the guitar I made for Jan Sturiale in Italy.

I’m […]  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 […] Been doing a lot of tweaking on Gilad’s new guitar! He’s been traveling for the last several weeks and left his new axe with me to tweak and adjust.

He’s got one of my semi 14 Models and is making it sound great!  Ed Cherry is a world renowned guitarist here on the scene in NYC.
