Things continue to move forward here at the shop. After delivering the custom semi-hollow archtop, I was able to finish up a 510 semi-hollow for Guru Guitars. It is currently for sale at their shop in Raleigh NC, check it out if you are in town! I am very pleased with the way both guitars turned out. They sound and play great! The customer who ordered the archtop couldn't have been happier! I'm currently gearing up for my next project: two fully acoustic guitars, a flattop and an archtop. I'll post photos as they progress. In the mean time here are some pictures of guitars I just delivered.

A New Beginning

Hi everybody: Lots has been happening here at Clay Conner Guitars. After nearly two years of construction (mostly by me and friends I could bribe with pizza and beer). I am finally functional in my new shop. It's small, but for the first time I don't have to share a space with other people. I still have to build a couple of benches and I need to get a bit more organized, but so far it's a great space! I am nearly done with my first commission in the new shop (a semi-hollow archtop). I'm very happy with the way it turned out, and I'm looking forward to shipping it out next week.

In the next month I will be trying to get two more guitars done. They are tentatively slated to go to Guru Guitars in Raleigh NC. (www.guruguitarshop.com). I will update as I get closer to completing them. Well, I guess that's all for now. Check out pictures of the shop and new guitars in progress. Until the next post...

Take Care,

Clay
