This instrument started as a beam of Mahogany that we salvaged from a Tacoma boat shop. It is very similar to the old Mahogany that I see on instruments in the 1920’s-30’s by mainland makers like Martin, Regal and Washburn. It makes for a lightweight and vibrant sound, which goes from mellow and sweet to honking loud with no hesitation. The second wood for this guitar is some local Walnut, harvested by Chris at Yodel Boy Woodworks. The customer asked for a low tuning, GDAD, close to an octave below mandolin tuning. It is simple and attractive, but is not showing off, just the way I like it.

““The guitar arrived yesterday, and I love it. It sounds, looks, and feels just amazing. I so appreciate the care and craftsmanship, and the beautiful woods you used.”
