End of Summer 2025

I currently have a couple of fun ones going including this Special Deluxe for Smokey Hormel. It’s just about ready to start finishing. Also I scored 3 super light swamp ash tele bodies (less than 3 lbs. before routing!) from Marc Rutters.

I made an adjustable 3/8″ tall cast aluminum base for my SV pickup. They look pretty sharp I think. This set is going on Smokey’s guitar….

Juan Hernandez; Serene

I posted this clip a while back. Re-posting it because Juan’s playing and his video recordings always sound so good to me. He’s using a CCII polepiece pickup plugged into an Elektra 185 amp.

Pine Roadmaster Available

I built this Roadmaster to bring to the Fretboard summit this August in Chicago but I’ve had a bunch of stuff come up and can’t make it this year. So it’s now available at Thunder Road Guitars PDX. Go check it out if you’re in the area. Some details… maple neck .975″ to 1.000″ 40’s Epiphone soft “V” profile, lightweight pine body and my SV polepiece pickups. The feathers are cut out of vintage bakelite scraps and inlayed into an off white Lucite pick guard. All of the hardware is lightly aged so the guitar has a nice NOS vintage look to it. All of my finishes are 100% nitrocellulose. The vintage plywood used for the case came out of a house my granddad built in 1953. It’s set up with JS112’s and is super fun to play. Feel free to email if you have any more questions.
