G 0301 'Klein Downtown'

Paul Schmidt commissioned this instrument. It was based around objects he had collected from Steve Klein's old shop (various guitar parts from his acoustics, the ebony bridge, a rosette, decorations). He also supplied the Rosewood neck, from a Klein acoustic. The shape echoes Klein's acoustic guitar design. The pickups are Fralin Jazzbars. This guitar gave rise to the later 'Nouveau Series' (2006-2009). Construction images and commentary

G 0302 'Sheryl'

'Sheryl' has a flame Meranti back. I found a stock of this light, resonant wood with good figure and it yielded quite a few nice sounding guitars. A vintage Gibson minihumbucker and a vintage Tele bridge pickup along with a Walnut neck complete the instrument.
