Newest Acoustic Finished!

Here’s the guitar that was featured several times as it was being built. It belongs to Gerry McKeveny
and he picked it up this morning. It is similar to a 000 body size but a bit deeper. Back and sides are quilted mahogany; the top is cedar with “bear-claw” figuring. This guitar was finished in ultraviolet-cure lacquer; a thin, crisp and very tough finish. The guitar is very well balanced and has a full even tone. Perfect for finger style. Gerry was here at several points as the guitar was being designed and built; and even helped out a bit!

Building for someone from the ground up just for them is a great way to have no two guitars be alike. Each instrument should really bring all the player’s personality and spirit to the audience. I’ve noticed when a player has an instrument that really nails who they are, their song writing and performance tends become even stronger.
