In October of 2023, Dustin took possession of this Redwood/ Walnut beauty. Dustin expressed interest in a Redwood guitar that would compliment the tone of his Rosewood/Spruce guitars. Given that I live in Oregon, we thought it would be neat to go with Pacific Northwest timbers.
Ervin Somogyi Voicing Class
I just returned from an intense and inspiring 10 days working with internationally renowned master luthier, Ervin Somogyi. This class focuses on voicing techniques and explores the principles behind why guitars sound the way that they do. It was a thrill to hear a couple Somogyi guitars in person, and to study with one of the greatest luthiers of our time! Ervin’s ability as a teacher matches his expertise in the field of guitar making. I highly recommend this class to any experienced builder who wants to better understand how a guitar top/soundbox works.
Also, a big THANK YOU to fellow luthiers; Bradley Daniels, Ho Zen, and Jerry Brown, for helping to make this class the best it could be. I look forward to following your guitar making careers!
