⚠ Any premium drop-top below automatically upgrades the core to a Fully Chambered Ash Chassis.

Locally Sourced Tennessee Ash — Solid Body Included— Custom Workshop Core Chambering — Internal air pockets & weight-relief carved into solid Ash+$200

🛠️ The Craft: I cleanly slice the face off the solid ash core, precision-carve deep acoustic air pockets and weight-relief chambers directly into the internal body matrix, and seamlessly re-apply the original matching ash top before hand-radiusing the perimeter.

Structural construction and artistry specifications

Neck Structural Construction

Traditional Single-Piece — Genuine Mahogany Included— Traditional Single-Piece — Hard Rock Maple Included— 5-Piece Custom Structural Laminate Included— 7-Piece Custom Structural Laminate — Intricate center spine pinstriping Included— Builder's Choice Included— Traditional Single-Piece — Highly Flamed Maple+$250 Traditional Single-Piece — Exotic Birdseye Maple+$250

Integrated Horizon Volute™ Multi-Layer Rear Backstrap Overlay is standard on all laminate builds. Laminate accent wood preferences can be noted in the Special Requests section.

🛠️ Luthier's Technical Note: Unlike high-volume factories that cut single-piece necks to save on bench hours, my hand-carved 5-piece and 7-piece laminate necks—combined with the integrated Horizon Volute™ rear headstock overlay—are massive, master-tier structural upgrades. I include them as a standard feature on my base price to provide maximum resistance against warping or twisting during weather shifts, unlocking lifetime stability and continuous string sustain down the spine of the neck.

🎨 Laminate Timber Breakdown: My structural laminates are individually built around a high-stability center strip—often featuring historic Osage Orange or crisp Hard Rock Maple—layered with contrasting structural ribbons that usually consist of Wild Cherry, Maple, Black Walnut, or Black Limba.
