A few neck related details for you. The neck itself is made from some rather lovely English Walnut, just the most perfect wood to work with, unless of course you recently decided to switch to eco cat litter made from walnut shells in which case working with walnut now reminds you of cat s**t.
Anyway, what’s nice about this neck is it’s finished with oil, which feels just amazing under the hands, the left one specifically. What’s also cool is that you can hear the neck, not in a pretentious way that it’s imparting a tonal profile, no sir, you can just hear your hand gliding across the wood. Nice.
Isn’t that Tassie Blackwood something special? Yes.
Don’t tell everyone else who’s bought a guitar over the years and I’ve said theirs is my favourite because I actually think this is my favourite guitar of all time.
Okay, thanks.

I wanted to share a look at “Billie,” a unique project recently completed in the workshop. This guitar was crafted using woods that hold deep personal meaning for our client.
The back and sides are made from Australian Blackwood from Victoria, near the client’s home in Melbourne. The neck features English Walnut from County Durham, his birthplace, while the purfling is crafted from English Apple from Somerset—the birthplace of both his mother and the guitar’s namesake. Finally, the soundboard is Swiss Spruce, a sister set to the top of a Model M that originally inspired this commission during a workshop visit.
