Hello everyone. If you are new to the site, welcome! And, everyone else, welcome back. Take a couple minutes to browse the Guitar of the Month pages and stay tuned for the completed photos of Andy's acoustic and Aaron's Swan. We are continually in the process of updating and keeping the site current. So it may take a bit, but those pictures will be up soon, and I promise you won't want to miss them. If any of you have a magic retreival method to recover corrupted images from an SD card, I would appreciate the help. As you can see, we are missing a few months in there...

Nick's full hollow is coming along very nicely. The body is all from an incredible billet of Curly Claro Walnut, and the neck is Curly Maple and Brazillian Cherry. The fingerboard, bridge, and tail piece are all Macassar Ebony, and the binding and other trim will be Curly Goncalo Alves.

Check back soon for the start of Charlee's mandolin, it will be exciting!

Hello again, and thanks for stopping by. We are done with shows for the year and very happy to be home and back in the shop. I have a handful of very custom projects lined up for the winter.

First is Andy's acoustic; if you haven't yet had the time to check it out make sure you browse the progress pics in the GOM pages. It is coming along very well, I can hardly wait to get some strings on it. Looking at the photos you will probably notice that it is far from a traditional build; wedge body, forearm relief, gut-cut, cantilevered fingerboard, etc.

In the next couple of days the photos of Aaron's new one will start going up. It's his third, so we are stepping out a bit this time.

If you have something in mind, let me know.

Welcome to Crow Hill Guitars

This is a guitar I have wanted to build for a long time. The inlay is based off of an image that has been lingering in my mind. And, a compliment to last years Palomino.
