I was pleased and honored to have the opportunity to share my knowledge of guitar building with Sherburne-Earliville High School students this past Friday. I wish to thank all the students and teachers that attended and the teachers that invited me to speak. I really enjoyed doing the talk and I hope those in attendance found it enjoyable as well.

UPDATE: This talk has been moved to April 9th at 9:30 AM.

On April 1st I will be giving a talk about guitar building to a group of Sherburne-Earlville High School students. The group will be composed of students from physics, math, music theory and technology classes. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to share my passion for building guitars. The talk will be broad in nature with something for everyone. Topics will include general construction, material selection, fret placement, considerations and effects of stiffness and mass, and tonal analysis (Chladni patterns and impulse testing). Should be fun!

Check out the two new videos of my guitars being played. The first video is of Kinloch Nelson playing a Model S14 with a redwood soundboard. This guitar has a very quick response and great balance.

The second video is of Lisa Bigwood playing her Model S16. This is a wonderful sounding early edition RS Muth guitar.

This is to announce that my base price will be increasing to $4000 on April 1, 2010. All orders reserved with a deposit before then will be honored at the current price of $3500.
