2015 Cedar / EI Rosewood at Reverie Classical Guitars

The guitar before it was
French polished
The latest cedar and Indian rosewood guitar built for the GFA convention in Oklahoma City this June is now available at Reverie Classical Guitars, near Indianapolis. I have known David Conti, the owner, for several years and this is the first of hopefully many of my instruments to be offered through his store.

Four Guitars coming soon: Two For GFA 2015 & Two Orders

The past month has been busy with work on the current batch of four guitars, the most I've begun at once since 2008. Two of the four are now assembled and will be brought to the French polishing stage before I brace the soundboards and assemble the other two.

The Floating Brace

Miguel Rodriguez guitar
This January I was asked by a customer to install a floating brace into a couple of his guitars (which were built by different luthiers, not me)...

What the heck's a floating brace?
