Bob Dylan’s early albums featuring his big, blonde J-50 were a huge part of the soundtrack of my teens and 20s. If I were to build a guitar for myself, this would be it. Sadly for me, this one went to @acousticmusicworks a couple of months ago. I’ll just have to make more!

A gorgeous OM from our friends at Circle Strings. Torrefied Adirondack spruce over Brazilian rosewood back and sides, with the same rosewood carried through the fingerboard, bridge, binding, headstock veneer, and heel cap. A striped rosewood rosette, high ratio Waverly tuners, a satin nitro neck.

Turn the sound up for this one.

None of those ‘other companies’ are as open and inclusive as Fairbanks Guitars when it comes to pickguard design. Areas for personal expression are limited in the vintage repro universe so we’ll take what we can get!

Here are two custom F-60s, kindly shared by the unrepentant Fairbanks hoarder, @soupsoups.

I wrote this little tune but wanted to play it over a B drone so I tuned the sixth string down to B. Then I had an improvised section that I wanted over a G drone so I tuned the fifth string down to G. So, tuning is BGDGBE. Hope you dig!

Some emotions and experiences are truly ineffable. Last week, I had the deep honor of helping our friends at @family_guitars digitize and archive some truly amazing pieces of music history.

Working with Jerry Garcia's "Tiger," Frank Zappa's "Baby Snakes," and Bob Marley's Yamaha SG-1000 (among others) was a profoundly humbling experience. These were once just mythical instruments I would read about in magazines growing up. Multiple posters of all three of these musicians adorned the bedroom walls of my childhood home.

I’m endlessly grateful for the trust in my skills to document these legendary pieces, and I'll be carrying the magic of this experience with me for a very long time.
