Greta Tree Guitar New Build
I'm excited to start up a new custom "Tree" build today. This is my fourth "Tree" guitar and will be the Greta grand auditorium model.
Here is the back set with some closer shots to show the amazing figure on this tortoise shell quilted set: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8ed7ddf7_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a4b6dbe4_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...33e1618a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...35688b61_b.jpg For the sound board we selected a very old curly Redwood top with a lot of color character: https://live.staticflickr.com/7829/4...b0374dd8_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/7847/4...6ae6bc8b_c.jpg Some additional features decided on so far will be: Florentine Cutaway with access beveled top edge Arm Bevel Sound Port 25" String Scale Length 1 3/4" Nut 2 1/4" Saddle String Spacing There will be more decided on as we are in process. And we're off! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8e330e54_c.jpg Mark |
Looks like an amazing set of woods, Mark!
Looking forward to seeing you perform your magic--will be following along! |
Amazing. I lust after a guitar with this wood. What a treat that you are fortunate enough to get to build several of them!
|
That's some of the most 3-D Tree I've seen - WOW!!:eek:
|
I'd have trouble spending so much time looking at that gem and not playing the thing!
Mr. Hatcher, you continue to exhibit mastery of your craft! |
That is an incredible set of The Tree. Maybe my favorite. Mark, you have such a great wood collection!
|
Impossible
...for me ro not be captivated by this wood. I am anxious to follow, even more so than usual...and that says a lot ;)

Wow
Now, THAT is The Tree indeed. Stunning. Can't wait to see it finished.
|
I mentioned to Mark previously that although the Tree is absolutely perfect in its figure, for me the star of this show will be that curly redwood top. With finish that thing is going to be out of this world gorgeous.
|
I wonder how much a set of 'Tree' mahogany like that costs. Stewmac are selling back and side sets of the 'Tree' that aren't as extraordinary as that for $6,000 per set. There are luthiers who will make you a very nice guitar for $6,000.
|
SCGC charges $10,500 for The Tree. When it first hit the market, it was far cheaper.

Mark, you build with some very fine woods! That Tree set is one of the nicest I have seen.
