Our favourite day of the week!

Throwback to me adding a reinforcement veneer to this headstock 🎸 An extra layer of strength added underneath, helping protect against cracking or stress over time. 💪

Almost two centuries old, and worth every hour of careful work.

This month we're stepping into the world of boutique electric guitars for Confessions of a Luthier.

A chance to explore a very different approach to guitar design and finishing — while still applying the same principles of thoughtful, hand-built instrument making.
