I’m currently working with this luthier in PA, and he has been a pleasure to do business with. He has started making archtops and I just wanted to share his information as his prices are great for completely solid wood guitars (archtops are starting at 4k, but i’m sure that will go up as he gets more notoriety).

-X bracing
-Customized f holes

This one hasn’t done amazing but it’s done decently. Given ones thumbnail and title is the only thing new viewers see it remains a mystery to me why some do really...
I think real musical development happens during creative exploration and application of what's already learned. So it's important to find a good balance between learning new material and working on...
Hi!
I probably deleted that comparison because I was using the free SoundCloud tier at the time and it limits the total recorded time you can store. I finally went to the first paid tier and no...
