📸 I remember how this piece of cedar smelled when I sanded the top plate. Warm and rich with a dark sweetness.
Do you prefer spruce or cedar soundboards? You`ll hear that cedar is best for fingerstyle players, but it really depends on how you build with it, the body shape, bracing, etc. Not to mention you, the player.
I love making guitars for specific players, tweaking the internal bracing and preparing the wood to get a certain result.

Another Ecliptic ready to go🌞 I know these look similar in photos, but what makes them so special is how every build has its own unique features and feel.

Happy summer solstice!🌞
Today is the longest day of the year, the start of a new season. This is an overdue hello, and preparation for what`s coming next.
(1) This weekend we`ll be launching the Love-It or Leave-It custom order program, a risk-free option if you`re curious about a custom build.
(2) We have a new version of the Transit model coming out in a few weeks. With this new version will also come a new name! The Tellurion.
(3) Lastly, I`ve begun a collaboration with Lindsey Guitar Works. We`ve started a special run of three Meridian models, all being made with Solstice specs & features. We`ll have more info & pre-orders available for you next month.

Getting some ribs bent up and in the mold. Slow but sure, or way behind schedule.

Nothing like the classic shine of nitrocellulose lacquer... the real stuff, no polyurethane here folks. 🙃 Here`s a look at the latest acoustic creation!
I`m accepting a limited number of orders for the remaining 2022 schedule.

Not much to see here yet. This prototype experiment is going to be a 24 fret acoustic with a new style of cutaway. Planning to share more details about this design next week.

Here’s a new bridge plate style I’ve been messing with. It’s cross grain top wood (in this case that’s sinker redwood) with a Port Orford cedar cap. This POC is almost as hard as maple. The final plate is about 120% the thickness of a typical maple plate, but about 85% the mass. I’m expecting a little added stability without sacrificing anything else. That’s the idea.

Here’s the full demo video of the latest Tellurion model. No effect pedals were used. Just straight through a Peavey Classic 20 running a 12” Celestion speaker. This guitar is partially chambered with no sound hole, all swamp ash. Lollar Eldorado buckers with splits switches for each pickup.

They sure look pretty on the wall, but Solstice guitars are meant to be played. Get ready for a new electric model coming very soon! 🎸

A closer look at a previous headstock. Check out the details on this early custom Transit model. I think the contrast looks awesome. We`ve used this head cap design on a couple guitars. Do you see the `S`?

This was a really cool Transit model. The customer requested a semi-gloss / flat-ish black finish all around on the body and neck with a #variegated #ebony fingerboard. We did an ebony veneer on the head plate to match.
