G0301 'Klein Downtown'

Paul Schmidt commissioned this instrument.  It was based around objects he had collected from Steve Klein's old shop (various guitar parts from his acoustics, the ebony bridge, a rosette, decorations).  He also supplied the Rosewood neck, from a Klein acoustic.  The shape echoes Klein's acoustic guitar design.  The pickups are Fralin Jazzbars.  This guitar gave rise to the later 'Nouveau Series'  (2006-2009).                          Construction images and commentary

G0302 'Sheryl'

'Sheryl' has a flame Meranti back.  I found a stock of this light, resonant wood with good figure and it yielded quite a few nice sounding guitars.  A vintage Gibson mini humbucker and a vintage Tele bridge pickup along with a Walnut neck complete the instrument.
