Here’s a track i recorded the other week with my group. Its one of my original tunes yet to be titled. I have to say i have come up with a great recipe for laminate guitars, I really am pleased with the tone. Not all laminate plates are created equal! I use high quality maple plys for each layer, as well as a glue that dries glass hard. This guitar has a sitka spruce face veneer which i custom cut here at the shop. I also developed a carved spruce internal brace that really gives the guitar some body to the tone. Still very lightweight but not flimsy. Check it out!
