Wave 12
Wave 12
This 12-string guitar will get you to the sounds of the Byrds, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, even the Beatles with the right peddle. Low and easy action, very touch responsive with dual Parson Street P90 pickups. Nothing feels like a through-neck at the heel, especially with a carve as smooth as this. I went for a unique contrast in woods--figured maple top, Claro walnut back with padouk highlights give this guitar a one-of-a-kind, yet traditional look. This guitar also comes with an alternative pickguard made of Claro walnut with padauk highlight. All guitars I make come with lifetime maintenance and adjustment to your specification.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I design and build one-of-a-kind, tradition-inspired electric guitars in Sacramento Califorinia. I use "neck-through" construction for its ergonomic playability, superior energy transfer, and undeniable beauty. There is no CNC here, everything is hand-crafted with traditional tools. I often use three woods for the guitar body--great tone woods on top and bottom and a thin wood sandwich between (inspired by George Harrison's Let It Be rooftop guitar). My design/build approach is unique in the world of guitar making as far as I know. Each guitar uses the highest quality components. I build for myself on spec, hoping that player/collectors will like and support what I do. I offer stringed instrument repair and maintenance in the Sacramento area. I will consider commissions on a limited basis.
