Another Year
05-Feb-12 22:33Wow, nearly a full year since I have updated this section of the site... Welcome to Crow Hill. I hope 2012 is treating everyone well so far. I am currently wrapping up a couple of builds from last year. This year will see some very interesting projects including a couple of 'tribute' builds inspired by two of the most iconic guitars ever produced. Come back often as I will try to keep up with the Guitar of the Month logs. And, as always, I love to hear about your crazy ideas and assist in turning them into reality--just hit the contact link. Or, sign up for the email list if you would like to see a little bit more of the inside stuff every month or two.

14-Feb-11 21:04Hello 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!
