chirp... chirp...


Why not start the new year with a little bragging? I'm sure I've mentioned that my better half (Mike Sankey) is a luthier (guitar builder), and so, I wanted to share with you his latest (and my personal favorite) creation. I love the bird sound-holes and it's smooth arched back. Oh, oh, oh... and it sounds great!
Awesome work Mr. Mike:)

    That's beautiful. I have to remember to show this to my boyfriend who is a guitarist. Are his guitars for sale?

    Eric... thanks for the link!
    He's not listed yet, but I'm sure he'll be soon:)

    Charisa, that was a custom order. Paid for and shipped off already. Sad:( I wanted to keep it around for a bit longer.

    Oh my goodness, it's a beauty! I think those droplets in the background might just be drool! By the way, I love your new photo, even though I missed the glasses.
