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 Last edited by WayneJohnson; 02-21-2024 at 02:58 PM. |

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!
