How this trip translates to a fantastic new instrument.
A lucky bonus to this trip was finding a small amount of truly fantastic and rare European Bird’s-eye Maple. I immediately thought of building a guitar for this year’s Woodstock show out this remarkable wood. The wood is so beautiful it speaks for itself as a design element, so I’ve added only simple and minimal inlays. The result is a genuine representation of the growth of Kraut Guitars and my own personal journey. It shows that a contemporary, maple, small-bodied guitar can sound, look and feel amazing.
I cannot wait to show it at Woodstock! I’m looking forward to seeing many of you so let me know if you plan to be there. Email me if you are interested in hearing more about this guitar, or want to book time together at Woodstock.
