Here is Dave Francis rockin out on a multi-scale guitar I made for him.  He likes to play in altered tunings and a multi-scale guitar seemed like a perfect fit for his style.  He is a great player and teacher and you can learn more about him at www.guitarborist.com

Audio sample played by Steve Cheseborough, a specialist in 1920s and 30s style blues and a proud owner of a Sipe parlour guitar. The audio sample is a 16 bit / 44.1 khz file recorded on a tascam DR-05 portable recorder at about a distance of 4' with no post processing or effects--just straight from his hands to your ears.

Final guitar of 2022. This is the base Spartan model with a satin finish on the back and sides. I'm looking forward to getting started on the first guitars of 2023.
Sealed and ready for pore filling. I hope to get this Spartan model strung up before the end of the year.
A recently completed 00-12 with a cutaway. My one steel string build this year. This flamed European maple is beautiful. #00guitar #customguitars #madeinoregon #flamedmaple #guitarmaking
Chamfered edges. One more coat of oil on this bridge and then it gets glued on.

Well this is kinda fun. The spirograph works. It will be fun to incorporate this idea into my rosette designs. #spirograph #woodworking #rosette #guitarrosette #guitar #customguitars #inlay
