Peptocaster Custom and Lemon Drop Lapsteel



Saw John Hammon play on Austin City Limits. Liked his cheesy Harmony Stratotone. Made something like it with a cedar two by four, a vintage Kay pickup and a few pots of coffee.
The lemon drop Lapsteel is basswood, and snorks and honks.

Flying V acoustic mandola




Because I could.

Aussie Blackwood/Redwood electric



Jack Spira gave me this nice wood. He's an Aussie builder who makes great guitars.

More salvaged redwood two by fours make the body.

My rude banjo


I did not build it. But I did make it rude, and drew the monkey.

Myrtlewood acoustic



Cedar top, myrtlewood back and sides.

Ebony on Redwood Relicaster



It just looks heavy. Homewound single coils, macassar ebony top, distressed hardware, salvaged redwood body from a deck I tore down.
