Reflections and Facts
I'm going to use this page to offer my personal
thoughts on guitars, woods, the process of building and restoring, and
other topics related to lutherie. As well, I'm hoping to post a
few articles by others, (with permission) that I have found particularly
interesting or informative. Thanks for your patience while I write
and collect the materials. I've provided an outline of topics
below.
-
Hand Made:
Why should someone have a guitar built especially for them?
- Intimacy with the materials
- Attention to detail
- Unique designs/options
- Ability to adapt to individual
needs
-
Three-way process:
We each have a role to play in this.
- The guitar/wood
- The player
- The builder
-
Woods:
Tonal and structural considerations.
- Which spruce is right
for me?
- Why top a guitar with
mahogany?
- Differences in tone
among back and side woods.
- Proper Care and
Feeding: This is so very important.
Links to outline topics will appear as
they are completed.
