The history of the steel string acoustic guitar in American can largely be tr...

Handcrafted Guitars and Repairs. What Does It Cost. Nothing seems to affect the playability and the way a player feels about the instrument like the neck. It’s the primary contact between you and the guitar. Does it fit comfortably in your hand? Are the strings the correct spacing for your playing style? Are the strings difficult to press or the action seems stiff or high? The average player will most likely be satisfied with a C or ellipse.

What Does It Cost. Handcrafted Guitars and Repairs. Kathleen Volkaert, Austin, TX. I’ve had a few electric customs built, but never an acoustic guitar. I commissioned Jim to build me two guitars, an OM and an OO. I had lots of say about what all I wanted in the sound, neck size, bla bla bla . . .Long story even shorter . . . OMG!
