) Laskin-style arm rest bevel | |
) Corner detail. Ebony with black/white/black purfling | |
) Ebony on African blackwood and Italian spruce |
) Laskin-style rib rest with black mother of pearl purfling. This is one of the "Black Pearl" sets. | |
) Stunning Brazilian baritone F with ebony smooth bevel and stark white purfling. | |
) Smooth bevel with black, white and a little blue on cocobolo with rare sapwood sides. |
) Cocobolo with my take on the bevel, a doubled binding for all the comfort but without distorting the body shape. | |
) Jimmi's lovely rosette in koa | |
) A simple "standard" rosette with one little added liine of red. There's a reason simple rosettes have stood the test of time. |
) Not all sapwood is created equal. This one was heavenly | |
) Rare quilted Cuban mahogany. One of the protected woods that we need to use care when procuring | |
) How do you make a killer guitar for a modern blues player who doubles on contemporary styles? The density of Cubano makes a fast start in the right direction. |
) African blackwood, paua, smooth neck join. Believe it or not, rounded heels are a pain, but I love playing a guitar without hard edges. | |
) Smooth neck join. | |
Paua black with an extra dose of black purfling and red. Cocobolo bindings. |
) Sinker redwood, Wingert roundover with green abalone purfling. | |
) Headstock with paua purfling. | |
) Sinker redwood. A hundred years in the bottom of river makes for beautiful color and perfectly seasoned top. Jimmi's rosette in green abalone. |
) I'm not a tree expert, I just know good wood for guitar making. I have read that cocobolo is a sexed tree and the extra black occurs only on male trees. Botanists feel free to correct me. | |
) Preciously rare spiderweb Brazilian. | |
) Cocobolo, character I choose anytime I get the chance, a "sword and chalice" backstrip treatment. |

) The Glasgow rose (Mackintosh and Macdonald) black mother of pearl on black vulcanized fiber | |
) Jimmi's Celtic/Nouveau knot on the necklace-style bouzouki rosette |
) Gorgeous cocobolo with sapwood sides. For denturies, this wood would have been rejected. Now we love it for the beauty and for the rarity of precious materials. | |
) Jimmi's Nouveau Knot. Love that girl. | |
) Bouzouki, or more accurately a CBOM (cittern, bouzouki, octave mandolin). Each instrument has it's own scale length, number of strings, bridge style, but modern players like a hybrid that will suit their style of play. |
) African Blackwood, smooth bevel, black mother of pearl. | |
) This rosette is on my Klimt guitar. (Mine as in I'm keeping it). If time permits, one day these dots should be Glasgow roses. | |
) Wingert Roundover flamed koa on cocobolo. |
) The Glasgow rose used in the fashion or a barouque soundhole rose on harp arm. The design was abducted and morphed from the amazing work of Mackintosh. | |

) Built by request, all koa ukulele with paua and a very wide guitarish neck | |
