Construction Highlights

UPDATED: September 18, 2007

1) I'm developing a line of moderately priced, hand-carved guitars, starting with the "L-35" semi-hollow body which was just completed (see Models).

2) Close to completing the 8-string archtop (custom order - pictured). This guitar has a bent-wood back using alternating hardwoods of maple and Indian rosewood. Sides are Indian rosewood and top is traditionally carved from premium Sitka spruce. (See "Arch de Lutan" section for information about the "bent-wood" construction process.)
