Default Introducing the Irvin Baby

For me, the custom guitar show season is about to launch. My first show of the year is Wintergrass this weekend, Feb. 22-25, 2024, followed by a number of shows in April and May, (Artisan, Victoria, La Conner and B.I.G. in September!) and so I thought I would begin to post a little more of what I have been up to in preparation for them.

I built a prototype of this model a while ago and it sold immediately. I am very excited about how it turned out and think it adds a great option for those looking for a super comfortable guitar yet still very inspiring to play. The specs are:

upper bout 9 15/16

waist 8 5/8

lower bout 14

depth at heel 3

depth at tail 4

body length 17 1/2

string spacing 1 3/4 at the nut, 2 1/4 at the saddle

scale 24.9

OK, I have moved you out of the dog house and back to the "Good" list, but I will be checking that twice so be careful! Beautiful guitar, I doubt either of these builds will make it to September!
