The Guitar stuff, so far.....
This is theMandocello I made for my friend Ev.  It has 8 strings like a mandolin, but it's tuned like a cello.  A great sound!  I need to build one for me.  Both the top and back are carved out of 1.5 inch hunks of wood.
We made the case upholstery too!




A satisfied customer!







I had a Jazzmaster in Highschool but sold it ....  So I made a Spazzmaster! Also a strat copy--my Fat-o-caster


Big Mouth Uke
This is Marilyn's Walnut uke.


 This is an all scrape wood Maccaferri uke!



A Maccaferri Concert Model.  Like the gypsy jazz guitar but with a glued-on bridge and classical fan-bracing.  Currently re-working the neck..

 

This was a commission:  A PRS copy with a Limba back, Maple top and neck and rosewood fingerboard.


Marilyn with her Maccaferri concert model.  Rosewood and cedar.  A big sound
