Default New to the board

Hey guys I'm new to the board but I'd thought I'd throw a few builds I have going on up here. Just finished up this archtop this week and had to show it somewhere....

Rockin' design there I love the soundholes, and the similarly shaped tailpiece.

Is that a walnut fingerboard?

Thanks, and yes it is a walnut fingerboard as well as the bridge and tailpiece.

Egan, that is one extremely cool design!! i believe I saw your posting that you are a custom electric builder in Canada. Welcome aboard!

Fill us in on what you think is your specialty area. I don't think we have many custom electric builders here, so it will be fun to learn more about what you do.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks folks! I don't really have a specialty area. I tend to build with the less is more attitude and love building, experimenting, and collaborating ideas. I have a small shop where I work on a few builds at a time. Here are a few more builds i've done in the past..Sorry for the pic overload

+1 on this!! We love pictures at the AGF, especially of the caliber of work you can do! Really nice stuff. Hope you get good press here, and bring in work because of it. I don't know if you've looked into sponsorship, but it may be worthwhile for you.

Glad to have you here.

Thanks for posting these.

Egan,

Any plans for a web site? Any way to post a price list or at least a starting point?

Thanks again,
Mike
