I have a commission with John Slobod (Circa Guitars) that is supposed to be delivered sometime in 2023. We have not decided on much yet. The guitar will either be a 0012F or a 00012F (TBD).We have however chosen some woods for the project.
We chose a German Spruce soundboard that John sourced from Andreas Gleissner in Bubenreuth in the South of Germany. For the back and sides a beautiful set of Malaysian Blackwood that he sourced years ago from Todd Taggert at the old Allied Lutherie.

I have a Halland 000-H in Swiss and Braz that will start in 2023. Dunno if I’ll get it in 2023, though.

I am hoping for a 2023 delivery of a 00 sized Rockbridge with Englemann over Ziricote, without sapwood. I am a big fan of their balanced tonal qualities, impeccable craftsmanship and 25” scale.

Juston's post had me rolling, and those who've shown their sets (Doug and Bob)..... Wowza!
Ben Wilborn is building me a Nautilus with a Carpathian top and this set of Braz. I'll have to confirm, but I think I'm on Leo Buendia's list for this year too. I haven't picked out woods, but I'm leaning towards Wenge B/S with some sort of spruce top. |

Brook Moore is building me a mid-sized finger style oriented model, probably the model he calls the "Selkie". Set to commence around March. Top will be sinker cedar or spruce, back and sides will be Pernambuco. Also leaning towards a 25" scale. I'll plan to post a build thread once it's underway.

You should have him cut into cubes and build it up, though.

After attending multiple guitar shows this year, I would have to say that we are in a Golden Age of lutherie. So much talent, young and old. I should add, this the koa set I selected for my guitar: Last edited by sinistral; 12-19-2022 at 10:46 PM. |
