In the fall of 2008 I started building a group of instruments for a show in the summer of 2009. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I wasn’t able to attend the show. I have finally had the time to complete the final work on this collection of guitars and they are available for purchase. They are a handsome group of instruments with classic appointments. The specifications and pricing for each guitar is listed, with accompanying photos. Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information about any of these instruments.

Fresh Sheet – Custom Tenor Guitar

shelley — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:26:28 +0000

This tenor guitar features several unique features. The scale length has been modified to 604mm to accomodate the Eddie Freeman re-entrant tuning while still maintaining a comfortable string tension. The end of the fingerboard has been scalloped to accomodate a Stimer pick-up. The top has been finished using an orange shellac to provide a vintage patina. The guitar has a Sitka Spruce soundboard, Indian Rosewood back and sides and a mahogany neck. The tuners and tailpiece are handmade in Switzerland.

You can see and hear this guitar in action courtesy of Peter Miller and the Citysteam Jazz Band in Devonshire, UK below.

Djangofest NW celebrated its ninth appearance in Langley, WA with a an excellent lineup of musicians from North America and Europe. The shows were exciting and well attended, and there was a great blend of music represented. Mother Nature also put on a spectacular show, and the glittering fall sun was a delightful back drop for jamming.

Congratulations to Greg Gunter of Nebraska. He was the lucky raffle winner at Djangofest NW 2009 taking home a brand new Park Guitar. The prize couldn’t have gone to a more deserving recipient – Greg has been attending and supporting the festival since the begining, he is a fine guitar player and a swell guy. Have fun, Greg!
