Stephen Holst Stringed Instruments: archtops, mandolins.
Like many luthiers, I spent quite a bit of time involved with repair and restoration work early in my career. These experiences were invaluable in helping me understand the complex variables involved with instrument construction and have influenced my work deeply. Wonderful older Gibsons, Epiphones, and D'Angelicos were available for close scrutiny and evaluation through this process. In the early nineties, as orders for my instruments increased, I decided to limit the repair work I did to Holst instruments and other interesting projects. Currently I make between 8 and 10 guitars and mandolins per year in my shop in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley.
By working full time by myself I am able to meticulously construct each instrument on an individual basis. This approach allows me to focus on extremely specific variables, controlling them to complement the finished piece and the customer's need for tonality and responsiveness. The result is a truly custom instrument.
Each guitar and mandolin I make reflects the specific needs and wishes of its owner. This manifests itself in the form of custom neck widths and shapes, special finish colors, choice of scale lengths and fingerboard radius, unique and personal inlay designs, and above all, the appropriate response, tone, and feel that is desired. I am also always open to discussing unusual projects such as custom body shapes, custom visual themes, and multi-string instruments ...

Donmo Resonator Guitars:
I started my musical career as a harmonica player at high school. My first band, The Mecca Powerhouse Five featured amongst other things, washtub bass, washboard, and the “Drainola”, a piece of plastic drain pipe played via a trombone mouthpiece. The bloke who played it had perfect pitch so we used to tune the guitars to the drain. For a while we had a jug player called Grogan but one night he passed out from hyperventilation and retired.
Our attempts to go electric were thwarted because no one was old enough to drive a car. The bass player bought an amp and we had to get it to our practice room some three or four kilometres away. We decided to push it through the streets on its castors. The roads were so rough that the speaker cabinet fell apart en route and so the washtub survived a little longer.
I moved on to sing, write songs and play guitar and, in the very early 80s formed a band called The Bodgies. We started out doing Hound Dog Taylor, Elmore James and John Lee Hooker type stuff in a funny sort of punk/Delta blues style that was so unique that we became quite popular despite the prevailing “haircut” new romantic culture ...

Paolo Coriani:
He opened his own workshop in 1984 after completing his studies and after some years apprenticeship and working in some great italian and french masters’ workshops. Mainly he makes guitars and hurdy-gurdys following the classical models or his own inspiration. He combines a careful choice of the woods with an attentive study of the forms and a careful violinmaking method to reach the equilibrium and the sound that musicians are looking for ...
My guitars are built with woods that are carefully selected from among the best used in the construction of guitars and are crafted personally by me: red Spruce, Canadian Cedar and Sitka Spruce for the soundboards, Rio Rosewood, Jacaranda and Indian Rosewood for the ribs and backs, Honduras Mahogany or Center American Cedar for the necks, African or Indian Ebony for the fretboards. The woods are all naturally seasoned for at least 8 - 9 years. I work on two lines of instruments ...

SoloEtte Travel / Practice Guitar:
A practical solution to a classical problem.
The SoloEtte is a solid-construction, disassembling frame-design, travel, practice & performance guitar. It plugs directly into stereo headphones or standard amplification equipment. The frame comes apart and fits into a small carrying case. The features of silent practice and portablility, combined with the amplification capabilities provide a bright new innovative concept for the serious musician.
With the volume and tone controls you can adjust the output to be compatible with all headphones, and play through any mic input or CD input on "boomboxes", car stereos, Karaoke machines, etc. Plug into computer speakers, guitar amplifiers and sound systems and control your own tone and volume.
The Classical model is dedicated to the details and authenticity required of the practicing classical guitarist. There are exactly 19 frets, no side dot markers, with the scale length of 647.7mm, the nut width is 52mm (2.05"), and the string spacing at the saddle is 57mm (2.25"). The action comes set to the proper classical string height, and can be adjusted. There is nothing small or hybrid about the neck. It is the full standard classical guitar neck. The assembled frame accommodates the full size Torres classic guitar shape in your lap and balances beautifully ... Hybrid Model: The Hybrid model incorporates features that steel string players prefer, such as a narrower neck, side dot markers, lower action, 22 frets, cutaway access to the high frets, strap buttons, and clear pickguard. The nylon strings will maintain your callouses and keep your fingers nimble ...
