Now Carring Ko'olau Gold, `Alohi & Manaha Tenor `Ukulele Strings

I'm using a low G set of the `Alohi strings on my main tenor and a high G set of Manaha strings on another tenor and really love these strings. I liked them so much I'm making them available right here on my site.

Archtop Guitar Luthiers and Misc Information

A collection of links and information archtop guitars and related info for the jazz guitarist

gtr_case.png Archtop guitars are steel-stringed acoustic guitars with a distinctive "arched" belly and a sound particularly suited to blues guitar and jazz. They are also known as jazz-boxes or hollow bodies, although not all hollow body guitars are archtops.

The top (and often the back) of the archtop guitar are carved in a curved rather than a flat shape, and it normally has f-holes. This curve and f-holes are both similar to the violin family, on which they were originally based. Although any true archtop has a rich tone unamplified, most archtop guitars have some sort of pickup/microphone system, and many are intended primarily for this purpose and so may also be considered electric guitars. Most used on modern archtops are humbuckers in bridge and/or neck positions.

The archtop was invented by Lloyd Loar of the Gibson Guitar Corporation after designing a style of mandolin of the same type.

(From Dales's bio)

I was born September 16, 1954, raised in Nazareth, PA, home of Martin Guitar. In my teens I became inspired by meeting some of the world's finest guitar builders. This led me to play guitar and become a builder. Visiting the shop of one of Martin's craftsmen encouraged me to buy one of his guitars. I was overwhelmed by the craftsmanship and ease of playing. At that point I knew I wanted to build an instrument of that quality. I started building acoustic guitars in 1977 in collaboration with friend Dick Boak.

 Info click here to view more info

( from listing's site ) - Doc's Stringed Instruments is a proverbial "one man show".  By nature somewhat a recluse, the concept of building instruments by the thousands in a factory employing dozens of workers is simply foreign to me. My desire is to build each instrument myself, by hand, to the best of my ability. Plain and simple.

Les guitares que vous allez découvrir dans ces pages sont le résultat d’une recherche permanente de la meilleure qualité. Les bois utilisés comme l’épicéa, le cèdre, l’érable, le palissandre, le koa, etc…, font l’objet d’une sélection très rigoureuse et apportent leurs particularités tant esthétiques que sonores. C’est en restant à l’écoute des musiciens, professionnels ou amateurs que nous avons pu créer une gamme si étendue, correspondant à chaque style de musique, allant du classique à l’électrique en passant par le folk ou le jazz.

JOHN MONTELEONE BIO

(from luthier's web site ) My first childhood encounters with a guitar began with a horrible excuse for a guitar which stood in a corner in our family dining room; a cheap Harmony acoustic archtop model, It had three or four of the blackest, rustiest, and nastiest strings ever seen on any guitar. It was dangerous enough that it could have sent its victims to the hospital for tetanus shots. Since it was of no use to anyone I took it downstairs into my laboratory where I conducted an experiment which tool, only a minute or two. I was only twelve. I wound up with a round house swing and smashed it to bits around a lally-colum. It was perhaps the best sound that it ever made. It produced a pile of interesting splinters of spruce and maple and at the same time revealed the inside of this lousy guitar. I then realized that there was a reason for all of these things and the inside and that it was somehow important to the sound of any guitar. This was an enlightening experience for this curios twelve year old boy.

(from Andy Powers's site) - Andy Powers grew up in a music-loving family in Oceanside, California. At the age of five Andy, the son of a carpenter and his artist wife, had his first workbench and shortly thereafter began playing piano. Andy took up playing the guitar when he was eight. In a house where musical instruments, tools and wood were all readily available, curiosity got the better of him and he began his first attempts at building guitars before the age of ten. With design and sound refinement the instruments began to improve tremendously, and Andy began selling the instruments to customers while he was still a teenager. Having been encouraged by his parents to pursue the arts, he began to explore the world of traditional inlayed art, using his instruments as a canvas.

Listing Info click here to show or hide more info

( from listing's site ) - New Zealand luthier, Richard Ralston grew up watching his father, Ian, make – and play – world-class violins. Ian’s dedication to the art of lutherie, along with his immense knowledge of stringed instruments and careful attention to detail, inspired Richard to carry on the family tradition of passionate craftsmanship and eloquent artistry. Drawing upon his father’s expertise, Richard began work on his first acoustic archtop jazz guitar in the summer of 2004. Half-a-decade on, he is now firmly ensconced in his father’s workshop, building exquisite instruments for discerning players who recognize the difference between a factory-made guitar and a lovingly hand-crafted and warmly responsive instrument. And when Richard is not making archtops, he is either playing them or teaching other people how to do so. “In the end, the real test is in the playing”, Richard explains. “It is possible to make an instrument that, at a purely technical level, is near perfect, but has no eloquence, no soul. It has to sing… it has to really sing.” It is this combination of passionate craftsmanship and eloquent artistry that has become the distinguishing mark of a Ralston acoustic archtop jazz guitar.

The Jazz Uke, acoustic version

Corresponding in size to the tenor ukulele, the Uke has a scale length of 39 cm. It is built like an acoustic archtop guitar, with parallel bracing and handcrafted arched top and back. The one-piece bridge provides a very direct transmission of string vibration to the body. The Uke is amplified by a single-coil pickup made by Coil Tec.

(From Dales's bio)

I was born September 16, 1954, raised in Nazareth, PA, home of Martin Guitar. In my teens I became inspired by meeting some of the world's finest guitar builders. This led me to play guitar and become a builder. Visiting the shop of one of Martin's craftsmen encouraged me to buy one of his guitars. I was overwhelmed by the craftsmanship and ease of playing. At that point I knew I wanted to build an instrument of that quality. I started building acoustic guitars in 1977 in collaboration with friend Dick Boak.

(from listings's web site) Flexibility in the design and construction of custom guitars is what I believe helps to set me apart from other instrument builders. My goal with each project is to produce an instrument that will perfectly match each customer's needs and tastes. My customers have the unique opportunity to be as involved as they want in the design of their instrument. Of course, I am also quite happy to make suggestions, drawing on my years of experience building all different styles of guitars.
