This page is for projects that I have started, but for various reasons, never got around to finishing. This is usually because other projects caught my eye, and I just had to set these aside and go with the new idea! Unless noted, there is nothing wrong with any of these unfinished projects, I just have a bad habit of jumping from one project to the next. In an effort to control this, if I start a project I like I take it to the laser ingravers and have a serial number burnt into it. Once that is done, I am commited, and you can find that body blank, or unfinished guitar over on the "available guitars" page.

These guitars are all available, and a build can be started from them at any time by request.

Now that I have a shiny new page to showcase them, I will make some more to put up here soon.

Single cut Karlin

Wormy Sycamore

This body blank is a one piece from some cool looking sycamore with worm holes all through it. When finished it will be slightly thinner than a standard Karlin, as the wood was close to thickness before I began planing it. Should make a cool guitar

No upcharge

Estrella

Bookmatched mesquite top, Cherry back with maple stringers.

This one is a beauty! I know it doest look like much now, but that mesquite is nicely figured, and with a bit of oil, it should be something else!

$150 upcharge

HOLD (pending down payment)

Karlin Double cut

Cherry top, poplar back

Equal thicknesses of cherry and poplar, to make a simple, yet beautiful guitar. As with all double cuts, this one will get the new reshaped lower horn.

No upcharge!

 

Estrella

Hackberry

This one was going to be built along side a karlin made from the same board. That one can be found in available guitars. This one came out with a few worm holes, and other "character", so I decided to hold off on building it. If you are into that sort of thing, here you go!

No upcharge!

Karlin Double cut

African Mahogony.

Every once in a while I actually have people ask me if I can build a heavy guitar. Sounds crazy, right? Well I have already built one, out of this same wood,  and it sounds amazing! If dense and resonant is your thing, and you don't mind a bit of extra weight, Here you go!

No upcharge!

Estrella

Birdseye maple

This is of course just a top. This is leftover from another project and is perfect for an Estrella top. Maybe on some mahogony with a bit of chamberig?

Upcharge pending construction style

Sorry,This piece is now CLAIMED

"DB"

birdseye maple and mahogony

Heres an entire guitar for ya!

This is a neck thru guitar I started, but put aside because of a couple of small cosmetic issues. It should make a fine guitar, and if nobody claims it, maybe I will complete it and keep it for myself!

$1400

Neck

Maple and purple heart

This neck is big enough so that it can be used for either a bass, or cut down to use on a Karlin.

Should be a pretty bright sounding neck, maybe pair it with a mahogony body to tame it a bit?

No upcharge!

Sorry, this piece is now CLAIMED

Karlin (old style)

Ribbon mahogony

This is a body blank Ive had around since the beginning! I started to make it, but just like everything else, got side tracked and forgot about it!  It is the shape of the very first Karlin! I may reshape the horns a bit and see what happens!

No upcharge

No model name

Cocobolo top, ash back

This was an Idea I was throwing around a while back, and put it aside to think more on its construction. It is heavily chambered, with a 1/4" Cocobolo top. I know it looks rough in the picture, but it should clean up well.
