Help Identify?

Post by James Sutton »

Can anyone help me identify who the builder might be on this one? It sold on Ebay a couple of months ago for around $200. and I meant to bid on it but forgot. It was a paduk body. I would like to find out how to get one made like this one.
Thanks

James, I remember seeing that a while back in a thread over at Harmony Central. As I recall it was a one off home built, a nicely done one at that.

If you still have a link to the expired eBay auction, you could try contacting the seller to see if they know who built it (and how to contact the builder). I'd agree that it's a very nice home-built model, not a production model by any of the standard manufacturers I've seen.

Thanks for the info. I will try contacting the seller. Are there any home builders that would want to tackle something like this for me? I love the body binding and wood. String thru body would be nice.
Thanks
James
