Official Luthiers Forum!

Hi Guys and Gals:
Too hot out in the shop so I thought I would post my newest. I cannot say enough good things about Michaels MJ plans, the finished product is beautiful shape, very sexy and contemporary. This one has the best tone I've built so far, I just wish I knew more about how to hit the target when building for a specific tone "flavor". This one has a big, really bright sound possibly from the hondouran rosewood bridge patch. I dunno.... we'll keep building, maybe someday all the variables will make sense

Anyway, the specs:

Ziricote from LMI
Adi from the Zootman
Neck from Hanalei Moon
Ebony bindings, Maple purfling
Bone nut, etc. from my dog Brandys' supply
Gotohs
Spalted maple rosette

I love soundports! All of mine will have them in the future...








Hey! Who sneaked the picture of my beautiful granddaughters in there?


Thanks for being here people... Mikey

I love building guitars!

Really nice, Mikey! Looks like it's makin' music just sitting there. I have to say, though, that I like the unique "cow-hide" binding on the last one.
