Building the Box- This is the Neck Block the for this Dreadnaught. I use a Bolt-On Neck System, and the Mahogany Neck Block has some Ebony and some purfling to dress it up. Yes, it's inside the guitar, but... SWEEET!

Dread update-
Bend the Indian Rosewood sides- a spritz of H20... 2 min. in steam, a soft bend and hold the heat a bit / turn it off. 30 min...into the mold to dry and settle. Goal is not to burn the waist are causing luthier sadness. Exciting! best, ray

My personal favorite #boutiqueguitar
Hockin standard series
Fun fact the builder, kip hockin got a cease and desist orders for the first iteration of this guitar and had to change it to this version. I chose the double cut for this one. I have two others I'll post later, that I customized for me.
