Custom Cocobolo Guitar Construction, Alchemist G68
Every project that Jay works on is special and while it is pretty amazing that current custom orders will involve shipments to such far away places as Hong Kong and Germany, it is rewarding for Jay to be building a one-of-a-kind guitar for a great woman who lives in our immediate community. Patty was able to come spend some time in the shop to hand-select each component and “stunning” may be an understatement when this custom guitar gets polish and strings.
Features: Alchemist body style, Cocobolo back, sides and headplate, Western Red cedar top, mahogany neck, koa binding, ebony fretboard bound with maple, ebony bridge
