I want to hear a sumptuous acoustic guitar tone, one that floods the senses, inspires new music and makes the instrument difficult to put down.
I want to hold an amazingly comfortable guitar that responds to my every touch and supplies anything that is requested of it.
I want a guitar that is as beautiful and interesting to look upon as it is wonderful to play; something beyond the usual.
That is the kind of instrument I build.
The reinforcement of the body shell or frame of the acoustic guitar to eliminate flexion, achieved by unifying the neck and tail blocks. Guitars featuring center soundholes require tying the blocks to the waist, whereas offset soundholes permit a direct coupling of the blocks, neck to tail. Why go to the trouble?
The process of making the guitar neck more stable, significantly increasing its bending and torsional stiffness, achieved by replacing a metal truss rod with the carbon fiber D-Tube neck beam by DragonPlate. The result is a neck that doesn't move with the seasons. Why can't I just be like everybody else and use a truss rod?
The act of freeing the soundboard from its traditional role as primary mitigator of collapse. Instead of relying on heavy bracing to prevent forward bridge rotation, the TurboTail from TurboGuitar counters such rotation by securing the bridge to the tail block. As a result, the builder is able to focus on the sound-generating potential of the guitar. Gimmick or Revolution?
Building exact replicas of guitars, even of my own designs, has never appealed to me. From the beginning, I determined to pour myself into the guitar currently on my bench; not a guitar from long ago, not the previous guitar, and definitely not the next guitar in the queue. I build the guitar that is in front of me with all my heart. It is intentionally one-of-a-kind, meticulously hand-crafted with love, inspiration and the utmost care, using the finest materials and techniques. You will never find another quite like it.
