I am the aforementioned happy customer! I can't say enough about Ron's skills as a luthier and his qualities as a business owner. I just returned from a weekend of shows with the new Speakeasy in tow and it played and sounded great, not to mention being mighty purity. I find myself searching for tunes to use it on that would normally go to my Mullen.
Ron, I will be contacting You soon about a new build. Thanks Ron. |

Beautiful design and execution. An instant classic. Well, at least after it was finished.

Thanks for all the comments.
This was a build that came together nicely.
I offer many options with this guitar so if you haven't seen what you're dreaming of just ask. I make all kinds of stringed instruments and there are some interesting design developments coming soon.

| Hubba! Hubba! That's one sexy steel! Do you build your own bridges or is that like a Gibson wrap tailpiece? |

That is a custom made Gibson style bridge, available on the SpeakEasy in 6,7,8,10 and 13 string sizes. String through body also available.
