Lapsteels' in the shop

Working towards a couple LSH Lapsteel guitars,,,,here's a shot of the new bridges.

Aluminum with a metallic antique bronze look. These are top loaded bridges meaning the strings mount/stop is thru the bridge.
Still remaining.......g

Some very kind words from a world-class musician.....

"In my travels I often get the chance to sample the wares of

luthiers all over the world. Every once in awhile a guitar stands out in my memory for its exceptional tone and response.

Greg Pacetti's is one of these. I didn't want to stop playing it, as the rich, even tone and impeccable intonation was inspirational, just what a player wants from a top-quality instrument."

John Jorgenson

One of our most exceptional guitarist

___What-I-Do___

The musical instruments that are primary to my shop..

Guitars ; North Rim my own design a somewhat large steel string but bigger than the Martin OOO

Classic-O ; Very similar to the Martin OOO (you could say my interpretation of the OOO)

Reso ; A Square neck Lapstyle slide with Cone Resonator

Chena Uke PS; Tenor Ukulele 17 1/2"scale, thru bridge string mount & Oval sound hole.

G Bass ; An occasional Solid Body Bass (Grady's Bass)

Most Instruments have an Asymetrically shaped bridge .

By choice most my work is with the Acoustic guitar and the Ukulele. I try to always use Fossilized Mammoth & Walrus

Ivory and Sitka Spruce, its the Alaska thing.....

At this time my Web-site is just a Homepage that directs you to this blog
