Meet Odelya

I’ve spent a good part of this year tweaking the design of the boutique overdrive I started selling last year. I’ve added several new features to expand the flexibility of the design, including one that I'm quite excited about. Find out how Odelya could be the last overdrive pedal you buy.

A Rockin Acoustic

Wed, 8 Apr 2009 15:58:12 -0400

It’s been a bit too crazy with real work to make time to play on the computer lately, but I apologize for my neglect of the site. Well, here’s a guitar I finished up this morning. It’s a modified Ibanez acoustic brought to me by an old friend with some special requests.
Butch is a really good guitar player and teacher. He’s also one of the few guitar players I know who enjoys a nice scalloped fretboard as much as I do. He was looking for some visual help also, since his vision is a little less than perfect. What we came up with was a new ebony fretboard (to replace the rosewood) scalloped with LEDs. It came out great and made me realize how much I need a scalloped acoustic.

Applicable Theory 1 - Chord Reading (by Chris Peters)

Chris has been a good friend of mine for many years now and he is probably the guitar player I look up to the most. He is dedicated to the perfection of his craft and somehow never seems satisfied with his playing. Quite frankly his mastery of technique and cleanliness often sicken me. I’ve often thought of how nice it would be to find the time to take lessons from him and I’ve recommended all who inquire about lessons to go to him. Since he knows how much I’d enjoy picking his brain he occasionally sends me little bits of theory and technique knowledge that he’s put in print for his other students and I thought the rest of you might enjoy looking through some of it. He’s actually sent me quite a few new pages of stuff since I asked to post them and my hope is that I can coerce him into getting me more on at least a monthly basis. Anyway, here’s the first installment of what I’m calling “Applicable Theory”. Enjoy!

Two Near Completion

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 14:54:38 -0400

Well I know it’s been a while now since I’ve written an update. That’s actually because I’ve been to busy working on things to find the time so actually a lot has happened. Among the more noteworthy events of the last few months, I have come close to completing two more instruments. Steve’s guitar is getting closer and prettier every day and Mike’s guitar should be done in no time. They’re quite different instruments with different challenges, but they should be be equally impressive when complete. Check them out when you get a chance.
