Timbo Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Thought there might be some folks on here interested in this. It is my brothers website and he builds guitars for a living. I'm pretty proud of his work. Lots of this stuff I've seen first hand and it is equally impressive in person as it is on the web. Wish I had 1/10th of the talent that he has..........but he's always been talented no matter what he does.........and he has done a lot of widely varied stuff over the years, but most of them have to do with sculpting in one way or another. Read his bio and you'll see what I mean. It was pretty amazing how much his dragonwing guitar sold for ........... but then again not really as it is a pretty impressive piece of sculpture. His main dealer recently passed away and has left him in somewhat of a limbo as the guy was a guitar marketing wiz. But he'll rebound.......he always does. Anyway........check it out and enjoy!!!

Contributing Member Jordan Posted October 14, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 14, 2008 excellent work and worth every penny he can charge, functional art. Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted October 14, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 14, 2008 Most excellent stuff. You should be proud of his work, not too mention the built in guitar strap trade you should have...lol Before I was to take up leatherwork again, I was going to build acoustics, but I needed some money to buy materials and specialized tools. So I made up some straps for my local luthier friend, to make the money...long story short, the straps took off, and I was forced to buy more leather...here I am. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted October 14, 2008 Moderator Report Posted October 14, 2008 Wow, the DonnaKay looks like a sweet blues guitar. Love the deep cutaway. I have a 30 some year old Guild that I love to pieces, but I would love to play that DonnaKay, just once. Your brother's sculptures are pretty cool, too- reminds me of The Dragon Lady's work with all the detail. Everyone here likes to look at fine craftsmanship- thanks for sharing, Tim. Tell him the folks here at LW said to Johanna Quote
Timbo Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 You should play one of the fretless........talk about a weird experience!!! Quote
Members glennaycock Posted October 8, 2010 Members Report Posted October 8, 2010 Wow! Those are incredible! I am learning to make Torres-style classical guitars. I have nearly completed one and starting several more. I will probably make one of them a steel string, but I have to modify the bracing for that. Quote
King's X Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 Wow! I took a liking to his facebook site.....beautiful wood work. Be proud! Quote
