GD Handcrafted Guitars

Hello Everyone!
It is that time again. I am coming to the Ika Community Market on Pioneer Blvd on Jan 18th! We had so much fun at the last one. We met so many great people and discovered that there are a lot of pickers in the area. I am looking forward to seeing some of you again and hopefully see some new faces. Stop by and say Hi.
Also, I have included some new items. I will be bringing Exotic Wood Games with me. These games are made from the same woods I make my guitars from. Games like - Guitar Shaped Cribbage Boards and the Horse Race Game.

Just a quick note to let anyone in th Mesquite, NV area, I will have a booth at the IKA Greens Mesquite community market on Nov 16th. I will be bringing a few guitars for sale from inventory. There will be a few demo guitars at a huge discount. I will also have guitar related items like Record clocks, Chacuterie boards, guitar wall hangers, etc. So come by and say HI!

Lasered access panel. Everyone has strong feelings about CnC and lasers in luthery, but cutting an access panel in the back of a hollow body...a laser is the perfect tool.

One of my customers texted me today, above is the guitar he ordered.

"I just put new strings on my guitar. Prob 4 th set by now had her a yr now.Gosh do I love her. Sounds so sweet. I haven't had my Taylor out of the case, but 2 times in a yr... I thank you so so much my friend. "

These texts just make my day!
Glad your enjoying it.

Disappointed in LMI! I ordered a coil of gold evo from LMI back when it was getting scarce. Doing a dread with gold Gotoh tuners, so I used the gold evo to match. Before dressing and polishing it matched great. After, I might as well have used nickle silver. I can only assume it is plated. I chose gold for the red purfling and cherry color scheme on the guitar. I guess I go with chrome now. The evo I get from CB Gitty didn't do this.

Red fret wire with red purfling, too cool. The next evolution of luthery, colored fret wire to match purfling. Come on Stewmac get busy. 🤔🤑
