Finished Instruments
Handcrafted in-house by David and Mike using carefully selected Mountain Voice tonewood from British Columbia, Canada.
A one of a kind solid body guitar. This white pine original body shape was brought back to a solid state slowly with multiple epoxy pours to fill voids within the wood. The glacial blue colour is a stark contrast to its lightly coloured top. The painted set neck is capped with a reclaimed birdseye maple fingerboard and headstock. The deep front and back body carves make this an extremely comfortable guitar. Silky smooth to the touch.
Double humbucker pickups.
A prototype inverted Summit designed to look 50 years old right from the get go. The figured Birch top used on this guitar showcases imperfections such as the bug holes scattering it’s surface and and to further it’s conflicting nature the hollow bodied instrument uses a spruce soundboard on its back complete with a rear facing sound hole which allows players to hear it’s incredible sustain even unplugged. It’s Cottonwood body has a radius and small belly carve for comfort and feel. It’s simple mini humbucker provides a surprising amount of sound and incredible tone control with minimal interface. This guitars aged rustic looks embody its fundamental simplicity.
Summit Series Slim, A classy instrument featuring a roasted Engelmann Spruce top and a flashy figured Aspen back. The hollow Cottonwood body and slim profile make it one of the lightest e-guitars on the market weighing in at less than 5 lbs and packing a booming sound from its single P90 pickup combined with its braced Engelmann Spruce soundboard. The custom bound applewood fretboard sits atop a clean birch neck and its incredible back is wrapped with a vintage painted binding. Playability is unreal a truly enjoyable instrument to hold. David built this with a 25.5 scale, simple and classic with a subtlety unique design shape.
Currently there is only one like this in stock unit 003, but I can make another one upon request. Gig bag or hard case available and included in price.
Shock white guitar. Featuring a hollow body design with big sound. Braced Engelmann Spruce top on a Douglas Fir body with Birch neck and fingerboard. The dual humbucker pickups are rear accessed to eliminate the need for a cover plate and show off more of the amazing soundboard capping this guitar. Mike’s unique design and shape.
A modern solid body guitar. This salvage wood body was built from the saved scraps of 100 off cuts from acoustic tops. The dark top is made from western red cedar and the lighter coloured body from spruce. The small body shape and familiar electronics paired with the fanned fret and headless roasted maple neck make this a very comfortable and striking guitar well suited to travel and stage. The back shoulder carve is subtle and sophisticated and the neck transition carve is smooth and comfortable allowing access to the upper frets. Clean design, familiar feel and modern look.
Single coil and 5 way switch, single volume and double tone controls.
A nod to the popular pineapple shape ukulele of Hawaii. This handmade instrument is artistic and flashy but also very playable with a pickup and smooth wood handled tuners. The size is somewhere between a concert and a tenor giving it a bit more functionality than smaller ukuleles. The spruce relief carved top creates texture and paint reinforces the concept. Walnut binding and a figured aspen back and sides stained dark with a low gloss finish keep the focus where it should be with this piece.
A small and elegant instrument. This handmade instrument is inspired by a local trail that shows some similarity to popular Maui hiking trails. David’s first pure acoustic instrument it features a cedar one piece top and willow back and sides with walnut binding and a hand carved douglas fir neck made from a single piece of wood. Blue tributes to the ocean vibes and roots of this instrument can be found all around the instrument.
