You're not so far away that you couldn't hear it for yourself. I should have it strung up by the end of next week. Thanks Again, Mark

That was a fun guitar to design, a bit of an ode to sapwood. It was my first Greta with an arm bevel as well. Mark

No, these are all regular frets. Just a lot of control of reflections in the photos

I love slotheads
I love artistic slotheads Up until now R. Taylor type-2 slotheads were my favorite. This, however is indescribably beautiful.

Using the planetary geared pegs really allows for some creativity compared to the flat sides required by regular tuners. My clients have been very happy with them functionally. I unfortunately don't trust them for steel strings, only the nylons strings I use with my crossover models. Thanks Again! Mark

I've made quite a few guitars from this one large board I purchased about 3 years ago. It hasn't let me down yet. I made my first Penelope crossover with a sister set on Danny Comb's guitar and now my first Greta model crossover. I have a couple sets left and I'll miss them when they are gone! Mark

Greta Koa Nylon Crossover
Here are some more progress pictures of the Koa Greta crossover I'm building.
I've bound it in Cocobolo, which is one of my favorite woods to decorate Koa with because I feel it helps bring out the red in the already beautiful Koa set: Lot's more to come! Mark

I'm a Sucker
I admit it, I'm a sucker for a good story when it comes to guitars. Not only do I find it personally interesting but, I think it helps me offer a little something extra that a client, putting out good money, should expect from a custom luthier. Artistically, it keeps my work fun and at times becomes the theme that I can rally my ideas around while designing and building an instrument. A lot of boxes get checked when I come across something that peaks my interest.
Here is the latest: This is a 3,000 yr old Sitka soundboard. Not sure what to do with it yet. I love the blue color though and I trust the idea will come when the time is right!
