Post Partum

Well, it's official, the archtop is alive! All of the months of sanding, scraping, tapping, and tuning have produced a guitar. Someone recently asked me if I had a hard time letting go of instruments once they where finished. At the time, I said no, but that was probably not entirely true. I've noticed, that the excitement of working out the final details often recedes into a kind of melancholy once the guitar hangs on the wall. It helps when they sell, and I don't just mean the cash, There is a kind of relief that comes from finding the guitar a good home. That process starts now!

Overall, I'm really happy with this guitar! It sounds very warm and rich. I hope to record some sound clips and possibly a little video or two stay tuned!
