Bellissimo Custom Guitar

Today my grandson and I worked on his Christmas gift Gibson LP kit. All assembled and ready to tape and Paint.

Another unproductive year has gone by with no customers in 2023.

So now that a propeller I was making is complete, I ordered some guitar accessories and will be starting 5 acoustic guitars in a couple of weeks when the parts arrive. Yesterday with my son-in-law we cut guitar backs of American Black Walnut. It was beautiful stuff. I had saved these two logs for at least 15 years. So the only thing I didn't do to these guitars is grow the wood. It's going to be a pleasure working with this walnut. It looks so good. I have at least 20 pairs to make backs with. It wasn't long enough to make the sides, so I will either buy some or use rose wood to make a hybrid guitar. the tops will be either Sitka spruce, or 40 year old cedar wood I have been saving for this occasion. Guitars will be "OM" suitable (if cedar) for soft country music. 3 will be allocated to family gifts. 2 will be sold.
