My first Smooth Stone

I got my first Smooth Stone, (two more coming) in July, and I just gotta say, I love this thing. It's got a big booming base with clear mids and ringing treble. Everyone that's played or heard it says it sounds awesome.Curly redwood top, grafted walnut back and sides, claro walnut neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, bridge, and peghead overlay, and flamedd maple binding. Might be a little too much bling for some of you here, but, I like it. Here are a few pictures of the build process, and the finished guitar.

Almost there


And the finished product.




Yeah, those are my initials on the trc.





and last but not least, Dale Humphries of Smooth Stone guitars. Prices are reasonable, and the product is great.



You can find him on the web, if you're interested. smoothstoneguitars.com .....as an addendum, I have no financial stake in this, only a desire to see Dale succeed.

Beautiful.
Impressive from start to finish.

Thanks for sharing,
Joe

As soon as I can get someone that can play. I'm not worthy of it, but I'm working on getting somebody to play it so that it doesn't sound like my four year old grandson "playing" with grandpa.

Beautiful work. Love the Walnut back. Thanks for the pics.

What a beautiful guitar!! Those position markers on the fretboard are unique and probably my favorite that I've ever seen.... AWESOME!!

Thanks Tom,
I designed and cut those myself. Diving for the shell was the hard part. :wink:
Those came from DePaule supply in Oregon.
Thanks for the kind words.
