Construction of my guitars.

I always try to use the best materials available since the major cost is in labor and not materials. Why cut corners buying lower grade materials that will only cut the cost by a few hundred dollars on an instrument that will probably have a minimum of 160 hours labor in it? The answer is you shouldn't and I don't.

After the guitar basics have been done and the "putting together" starts, I use tap tuning methods to "tune" the guitar parts so that they are tuned to notes that are part of the A440 concert scale. By doing this, the guitar will have a much better sound and be more consistent across all the strings.
