After a week of toil in the workshop making sawdust, the weekend often becomes a time for administration duties. One of those duties is to accumulate various emails and text message testimonials from our customers into a format for the webmaster. Reading back through these testimonials is a real treat. There is nothing more rewarding in the knowledge that what we are creating can be inspirational to someone else. So it seems that we are doing something right. Onward and upwar

A little Chiquita here heading off across the pond soon. This is a nylon string custom build, 12 fret neck joint, 585mm scale length. It’s fitted with an internal K&K pickup system, controlled by under pickguard CTS thumbwheels. Sounds terrific both acosutically and amplified. Finished in gorgeous antique honey nitrocellulose lacquer.   #fibonacciguitars   #handcarvedarchtops   #archtops    #fibonacci   #boutiqueguitars   #archtopguitars    #jazzguitars    #jazzarchtops  ...

It takes time to apply nitrocellulose lacquer and even longer to allow it to cure enough to polish. But the results are well worth waiting for. That deep reflection is a beauty to behold.
