The Making of Woodcraft’s Signature Guitar
Unveiled and On Display Now
Gary Halliday, an experienced local luthier, started construction of our signature guitar last February (2009). He has now completed the guitar, which is simply an incredible work of art; and, unveiled it to a happy crowd of enthusiasts during our October Anniversary Sale. In addition to revealing the appearance of his masterpiece, Gary also demonstrated its impressive acoustics. He joined some other talented customers and friends in an impromptu blue-grass-infused jam session that entertained the crowd. Our thanks to Larry, George, Rick, and Gary for creating such an extraordinary experience here at Woodcraft.
And now, without further ado, a peek at Woodcraft's Signature Guitar:
(Photo Courtesy of Daniel Wonsch, 2009).
Now, you didn't really think I'd show you all of the guitar, did you? If you want to see all of it, including the Spruce Sitka Top, the Manzanita Rosette, the Mahogany Neck, and the Ebony Fingerboard with amazing inlay detail, you'll have to come in. Even though the above photo captures the gorgeous Zebrawood Back, my upload of the photo doesn't do it justice. You need to see the guitar in person.
Now, although Gary has completed the guitar, there are still many photos chronicling the process that we have yet to display. Don't forget, we have a scrapbook containing previous photos in our store library.
Completing the Neck & Fingerboard
In the current installment of photos, Gary completes the mahogany neck and attaches the fingerboard. You'll see him create his signature "H" inlay. To view this series, click on the 'Store Photos' tab (on the left side of your screen. You may have to scroll up a bit to see the tab.)
Sample Photos from earlier steps in the guitar-making process
The Very beginning. Matt & Gary cut a gorgeous plank of Zebrawood, which forms the back & sides of the guitar.
