Another happy costumer

 Oddie is costumer of mine who just arrived to my studio to pick up his SAT12, custom built for him.

 This small body guitar has really big sound, plenty of volume and perfect balance.

I love to see the smile on my costumers face when they try their instrument for the first time. Priceless.

Thanks Oddie

Melbourne Guitar Makers Festival 2015

This was officially my first exhibition. I can easily call it success. Great learning experience. The feedback on my guitars was fantastic. I scored the order and sold good number of my pick guards. Had the chance to chat to some well known musicians as well as well known guitar makers such as Jack Spira, Tim Kill, Laurie Williams and menu others. My next exhibition...March 2016. Port Fairy Folk Festival. See you there. 

I'm uploading some pictures from this remarkable guitar lovers event.

SOMETHING ABOUT MY PICK GUARDS

In the beginnings of my guitar making, I've used 'off shelf' pick guards. I was never happy with its 'printed' look, so I decided to make it myself. I chose to go with a resin casting method as it gives a nice rounded edge and also gave me the opportunity to be creative with patterns and colours. My goal was to find material with properties that will maintain flexibility and wouldn't curl, shrink or crack over a long period of time, but also, had a good surface toughness as to serve its purpose. After almost a year of experimenting and testing different varieties of resins, I finally found one that does an excellent job. They are now features on all of my guitars. They come in different colours and patterns but they also come in a 'Clear' option as well. Here are some examples:
