The Art Deco OO-12 is done!

Thursday morning I'll be hopping on a plane and heading west for sunny California with my most recent guitar, an Art Deco themed OO-12.

A few pictures...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And once again Mike O'Brien was kind enough to come by and record a couple of videos...

 



 

 

 

 

This guitar has definitely been one of the most (aesthetically) challenging guitars I've built to date and I'm extraordinarily pleased with how it turned out (sounds killer as well!).  Hopefully some of you out there will get a chance to see it at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival this weekend! 

Symphontree Music

After a nerve-wracking week of a (temporarily) lost package, one of my guitars has finally arrived at Symphontree Music in Vancouver!  Having a dealer on the west coast is fantastic; even better is the fact that Symphontree is located about 4 blocks from Sophie's Cosmic Cafe and their mind-numbingly delicious black bean and corn bread eggs benedict.  I think I may have to hand deliver any guitars I send out there...

Kevin at Symphontree just received the guitar yesterday, but he already has some pretty great things to say...


"This is the beginning of something incredible. This guitar is without a doubt one of the finest guitars I have ever played in my life. It is amazing and I have a funny feeling you will be reading more about this guitar while I’m cast under it’s seductive sonic spell."

Curly Mahogany OO-12

My latest guitar has just made its merry way across the pond and arrived safe and sound at the Acoustic Music Company in Brighton, UK!  This is my first guitar sent to Europe and I'm hoping it will lead to several "business" trips in the coming years.  Here's a video I recently shot playing it...

And here it is listed on the Acoustic Music Company's site...

Indian Hill OO-12

OO on the go..

Recently started on one of two guitars I'll be bringing with me to the Healdsburg Guitar Show this coming summer. Being a show guitar, I thought I'd do something a little bit different. I spent a few weeks in Arizona over the holidays and was lucky enough to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's workshop/school/home Taliesin West. I really enjoyed seeing his various screens and windows and thought it would be interesting to try and incorporate that type of design into a guitar. I've also been thinking about Art Deco style recently and with those two thoughts in mind I decided to just go for it....

Jonathan Kreisberg

I'm incredibly excited to announce Jonathan Kreisberg as a new member of the Indian Hill Guitar Company family!  Jonathan is an absolutely stellar guitar player from New York City that plays worldwide with his quartet and as a member of Dr. Lonnie Smith's band.  Jonathan contacted me last summer after trying one of my OO's at Rudy's Music in Manhattan and told me he had to have that guitar.  Within a few months he recorded a brand new solo guitar album, "One", and used my guitar on two of the tracks!

Here's a video of Jonathan talking about the new album (note the guitar he's holding!)...
