My second guitar built at the School in the advanced class was made for Ted Taylor of San Diego, CA. Ted’s an excellent singer/songwriter and just happens to be my daughters partner. The koa looks incredible, and the sound is well-balanced with amazing sustain. This was my first attempt at wood bindings and a wood rosette.
