Blake Dyson 000 12 Fret Inbound
Earlier this year I found a below the radar luthier who lives just 35 minutes from me and I purchased a Brazilian RW B/S 000 14 fretter that he had just completed…..it’s a hard one to put down once I pick her up to play….here is a thread I posted earlier in the year after I purchased:
https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...ht=Blake+dyson During one of my trips to his workshop he had a beautiful set of Claro Walnut in which he was going to start another guitar with….I had to have it and that guitar is now two months from being completed. I was able to pick out all the other wood for the guitar including the top and we designed the rosette together…. Here are the specs and some pics and I’ll post more pics once she is complete and I have played! Specs: 000-12 Fret 24.9 Scale 1-13/16th Nut 2-5/16th Saddle Spacing Claro Walnut back and sides Moon Spruce Top Brazilian Head Plate and Bridge Cocobolo Rosette with purfling Madagascar fretboard bound in Coco and Ivoroid Coco and ivoroid binding and back center strip Coco heel cap Waverly tuners - White butterbean No endpin, pickguard, strap button Dyson stamp inside and virgin headstock IMG_1634586375.505885.jpg image1.jpgIMG_9596.jpgimage0.jpgimage2.jpgIMG_1634586521.293945.jpgAttachment 1IMG_0931.jpgAttachment 1IMG_1634586595.383652.jpg

Blake does nice work. I looked at a cocobolo 00 he made about a year ago. I was impressed although a deal did not happen that day. I would have liked that guitar though…

I am so thankful I clicked on this thread, for two reasons:
1, that is going to be a STUNNER of a guitar! Congrats! The walnut is simply amazing. a 12 fret 000? YES please. 2, I had not heard of Blake, but his shop is quite near my hometown in NC. I hope I can look him up next time I'm home! Beautiful work!

Dyson
Blake's awesome, isn't he? I recently had that whole experience with him, choosing every last bit of material and watching my personal spec'd guitar come together over a few months. European Spruce over Malaysian Blackwood, OM, 13-fret join, short-scale...Congrats on a beautiful guitar!

Yes! He’s a Prince of a Man and loves talking about wood! So do I! We are about a month out from being finished - will try to post some recent pics soon!
