Much progress has been made on my custom guitar by master luthier Jon Holland. He has posted many photos, of the neck and body, on his Myspace page! Soon I’ll be traveling to his shop in Acworth, GA for the first fitting; Holland will join the neck and body so I can approve the fit for comfort and feel. These are such subjective aspects of an instrument, and also what makes customization so desireable. I’ve played many guitars but never one shaped and fitted just for me! Very exciting.

Guess what?! One of my buddies, who is a bass and guitar luthier, has agreed to help me build a custom guitar!
It all began when I purchased some body blanks last Spring. Back then, Jonathan (my buddy) told me he’d be glad to offer advice and the use of his tools. Then as months progressed and events unfolded, he became more and more fascinated with my design. Bear in mind, while the body was going to be custom, my plans were to buy a pre-made neck.
Well, we met last Friday for a planning session and Jonathan said he’s going to build me a custom neck!!! Holy crap is right! I’m so excited I can hardly wait. His workshop is so cool, it’s obvious that he pours his heart into every project. His other works are gorgeously crafted and I am so lucky to have him as a friend. I’m totally going to hook him up with some nice tools for his business.
Here you can see a rough sketch of the body design. It’ll be cut from Korina (Limba) wood. Enjoy the eye candy
