I built this guitar in 2016. The 32nd guitar I had made at that time. It was a turning point in my guitar work. I was 30 years old and had just finished a year of living and working on an oil rig. Brutal manual labor hundreds of miles offshore. When I left I put everything I had into making guitars. I rented a small workshop in the middle of nowhere and for the first six months that I was full time building guitars I actually slept every other night and worked through the nights to design and bring them to life. I still have good energy today at 40, but no longer work through the nights. 😅 I was just so driven to not go back to what I had been doing before. The previous guitars 1 through 31 that I built between 2010 and 2015 were also good, but an experimental mix of one-off designs, prototypes, ukuleles, mandolins, and acoustics. Looking back, this guitar number 32 was the beginning of my electric designs being finalized and the beginning of when I really started to get somewhere with my work. Six years and 30+ guitars experimenting and I started to get somewhere. On my computer I have folders of pictures for every guitar I've built, and years 2016 onwards all have their own folder while 2010-2015 is in one folder. So 2016 and guitar 32 was a turning point. I'll be finishing guitar number 145 in a few days and then onto 146. 🔥🎵❤️‍🔥

A mountain mahogany tailpiece modeled after the fittings adorned on Antonio Stradivarius’ 1709 “La Pucelle” violin. Given the natural variability of the wood, this tailpiece features a few areas of extra rare dark sections, most notably in the top left corner of the piece.

Tackhead banjo I built for my bestest friend in the world as a birthday present. It's pony sized, so like half the size of a standard banjo. Maple and purpleheart, and yes it's naturaly that purple. Gotoh tuners, recycled goatskin head from an old drum I repaired, Nylgut strings, walnut fretboard. The moon phase inlays are mother of pearl and ebony.

The case looks unfinished because my friend is going to paint and finish it herself, eventually.

Two head shapes. One will be classical with pegs (after it is hollowed) the other will take guitar style geared tuners. #maker #dulcimer #luthiery #woodworking #wood #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3cFQuDuzf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
