Thanks Jon. I know the opinions but willing to hear them out. This is also a variation on Irwin's "wine country" where he combined aft bout of Tiger with fore section of Wolf. The Wolf theme is more the fretboard and hardware design than anything.

My Wolf inspired prototype is starting to come to fruition. Started building this about a year or so ago. Typical OBEL electronics but body design started out as a mesh between Wolf and Tiger but got a bit elongated in the process giving a little bit of a larger bass side horn than Wolf. Excited to ...

Kluson is a good bridge but availability is pretty inconsistent. There is a back order list at times for dealers as I have been on it several times. Dealers will get them first. Guyker makes a cheaper version. Can't speak personally to quality but haven't heard complaints. I only use Kluson on my Ti...

I just went through a similar 3 year process but not a guitar. Guys life got complicated. I have to believe drinking was the primary issue which resulted in divorce, loss of home, multiple legal issues etc. I was patient and regularly asked for progress reports. Sometimes I got them but I think they...

I could probably help you out. I make all the covers and surrounds for mine.

I'm convinced that the reason there is a padauk spacer in the neck pocket of Tiger is so that Doug could fit each neck to the guitar which gave him some latitude when placing the bridge and/or cutting the neck. I am less precise then what others mention. I take a 1/4" thick piece of wood and st...

This sucks. I recall another builder going through something similar and got himself in the exact same situation. Simply put he was a bad businessman. A dealer reached out to him and became his "manager" and helped get all the backlogged work done and he continues to build to this day with...

I have a tribute mandolin that will be for sale in a couple weeks. It was sent to me to add another pickup and a switch then the guy had an emergency and couldn't pay for it so I bought it from him to help him out. Message me if interested.
