New Fulawka !

Post by Bruce Snow »

I am now a proud owner of a Fulawka!
Living close to Eddy I had the opportunity of following the process from selecting the wood to the final assembly.
The guitar plays like a dream and sounds great!
I am sure all Fulawka owners will agree to that.
Thanks to Eddy who is a great craftsman, also to Marty,Dave and Ollie for all your help.
Great job guys.

They don't get anymore custom than this. Image I've not seen one that looks anything less than amazing.

Jay,

The reason Fulawkas look custom made is simple - Ed builds every one of them by hand. What's more, he makes almost every component himself, from the bellcranks and hardwood bodies to the cases.

I've never seen an ugly one - heck, I've never seen one which wasn't drop-dead gorgeous! I sure love mine. I can't play very well yet (still working on scales and trying to grab the right strings when I pick), but I can tell that it's going to sound like an audio dream once I get there!

Ed must be working double-overtime to get all these new axes out one after the other!

Check out the pics of my new Fulawka S10 a little ways down in the Pedal Steel topic.

Mike

I've only seen photos. I would certainly love to see one in the flesh, or wood, as it is. I'm sure they're breathtaking. Maybe Dallas?

Hey ,Ricky, what's with the lilac hair? You going granny on us? Image
