[…]  Hey guys, I am super pleased to unveil the next guitar I made for Gilad Hekselman! Woooo!

 Hey all! My new guitar shop video blog is here! Season 1 Episode 1 woohoo! I am really hit or miss on having time for my blogging unfortunately, but I really enjoy doing it so I’m giving it another crack with this format idea for 2017 I’ll let the video do the talking and there’s […]  Ok this is the last guitar I will assault you with this week I promise! All these latest pics this week make me realize what a cool batch we had for the fall run of guitars. It was really fun to make this Model 15 in some seriously heavy quilted maple. The sitka top has […]  So on this first really super cold winter day in NYC, I thought I’d post this Candy red Model 14 semi hollow we just finished up. So red you can almost warm your hands by the screen haha!! What a fun color to see this model guitar in, I could see Santa Claus rocking with […]  Today is really a special day, I just took pictures of the 400th guitar made here at the shop. Feeling stoked and a bit nostalgic. Pretty cool feeling, I started making guitars purely as a hobby between teaching lessons and gigging, and here I am all these years later. I cant wait for the next […]  Ok! Here it is, my new thinline archtop! Ive been wanting to combine some of the stuff I do with my archtops as far as tone and woods, with ideas on how to break the price barrier for people and make it more affordable as a working guitar. This is what I’ve come up with. […]  SO stoked that the spring archtops are nearing the finish line. Lots of paint work happening on all the guitars, all looking great. Check it out the latest pics!

The spring batch of instruments are all assembled and painted for the most part. Only a couple more weeks until they start rolling out completed. As usual, while the paint is curing on one batch of instruments I start on the next batch of projects, so there are plenty of […]  I started planning out the summer run of instruments here at the shop, gathering specs and acquiring some needed materials etc (more on those guitars soon!), and I realized that we are going to hit serial No. 400 with this batch. I try to do some special features for every 50th guitar we do (100, […]  Here’s the first of two exciting new projects that is in the planning stages here at the jazz guitar laboratory. 😉 I’ve been working several years with my good friend Gilad Hekselman. He’s a super creative inspiring musician and even cooler guy, check out some of his music if you havent you’ll be glad you […]  Here’s another project I am cooking up. I’ve been seeing a huge trend in smaller guitars as the years pass. I get a lot of traveling / touring players who are in need of something lightweight and portable, but that can serve well as a jazz instrument with a big warm open and woody tone. […] |
