Estebanana (Stephen Faulk) is buildi...

It's one of his 19th century romantic era models (Calle Carpenteria).

It's in memory of my Mum, Pearl, who died last November, so it will have some mother of pearl features; a Japanese cedar top, Hinoki back and sides.

That's a great shot, Ricardo. Is Alfonso the guy on the cover of Steelhead's book?

Stephen's latest small body guitar is here

Alfonso yes he is. And the new guitar also looks and sounds great.

That will be a wonderful remembrance of your mother Silddx. Will it have a classical string height? I see the photo of Ricardo playing a similar one. I have a parlor size from Mexico I enjoy playing. I'm sure Stephens will be spectacular though.👍

Thank you, Dave!

It will be a flamenco blanca with a low action. The flame cedar top looks gorgeous and he's started the rosette. You can see it on Stephen's insta. This Foro won't let me upload photos at the moment.

A speak easy for music in general. The wine casks were just serendipitous, the venue was in the basement of the outlet for the wine bar/restaurant. Sadly, just got word it closes end of this month and our October show is cancelled. It was a cool vibe and the organizers are really bummed.
