Crazy weekend in the Mainstrasse. Oktoberfest was in full swing and so was the shop. Next stop San Diego!

guitar tweaks

1 09 2011

Thanks to Darren Whitmer at Brown Forman Cooperage for the piece of scrap white oak. It came from a bourbon barrel stave destined for either Jack Daniels, Woodford Reserve, or Old Forester. It made the perfect block for my tremolo modification on my newly acquired St. Blues Bluescaster. This is one sweet guitar and I’m in the process of dialing it in. What could be better than a bourbon barrel stave for this project? American white oak!

Kyle’s tattoo

Only one more sitting to polish and dial it in!





experimentation

24 05 2011

With a nudge from Matt Calvani, I’ve moved into a new approach to shaping. One of a kind, eyeball specials. Not a lot of measuring, just looking, feeling and creating. Pretty exciting. Just don’t ask me to make another one just like it. These are truly one of a kind.
