A Luthier's Art: Gregory Byers: Classical and Flamenco Guitars of Gregory Byers.
Showcase, Workshop, Research ...
Before I begin to build a guitar the possibilities are limitless. Every step along the way I make decisions which guide the final result in the direction of my imagination, and each step limits the possible outcomes further and further until only one remains. Even then, because of the ineffable qualities of wood, we luthiers are in the business of attempting to control the uncontrollable. Yet with experience, care, the courage to dream, and belief in one's self, something special can happen. I put everything I have into each guitar, then go on to the next with the conviction that I can go even further ...

R. J. Dicarlo Guitars:
All master grade woods are used and you have a choice of: soundboards, back and sides, binding and body styles. Ebony fingerboards are used exclusively on my instruments, but if you prefer something else, they are listed under Specs/Options. At present I use Gilbert Tuning Machines and Ebony Pegs.
All necks are fully bound. On all instruments the Fingerboard is totally bound (no fret ends are exposed) - with same choice of body binding. The Fingerboard is radiused and necks can be carved to customer specs.
Any model can be made with any wood combination.

The first Sand Guitars in 1979 were customized classical and steel string acoustic guitars built for local professionals who frequented Kirk's Guitar Shoppe in Laguna Beach, California. Each guitar in those early days was meticulously hand crafted and the tone and playability of the instruments was a representation of Kirk's life-long passion for playing guitar. In the truest sense of the word, his artistry both as a craftsman and as a musician has lead him to build guitars for 25 years that satisfy even the most demanding professionals in the world.

He consulted with clients, friends and nylon string guitar players of all styles and made one prototype after another refining the design. The result is an instrument with pure tone, even sound, subtle dynamics and one that is inspirational to play ...

Shelley D. Park has been building guitars in Vancouver, British Columbia since 1991. Her love of the music of Django Reinhardt has led her to focus her skills on constructing guitars based on the designs of Mario Maccaferri and the Selmer Company of France. Shelley's gypsy jazz guitars embody the classic sound and design of the original instruments while reflecting a contemporary approach to lutherie.
