Lame Horse Instruments

04/13/2026

It was a real honor this weekend to have great players like well known jazz musician, Doug Proper, and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, John Sebastian, play the Lame Horse guitar I had at the Artisan Guitar Show. However, what really thrilled me was the smile on the face of the new owner of the guitar. I know this beautiful young lady is going to be a great player! I’m not mentioning her name for privacy reasons, but I am extremely grateful for the support of her family for Lame Horse Guitars.

This 14 fret LH 14 is likely to be the only new guitar we have available for sale for the rest of 2026. We would love to show it to you at the Artisan Guitar Show - the world's premier guitar show - next weekend in Pennsylvania.

This LH 14 model for the Artisan Guitar Show is coming along. The bridge is on. As soon as it has frets, we will string it up and start the final tuning process. We love the beautiful Italian alpine spruce top from the forest of Stradivari, and the one piece sapele back. Sorry for all the reflections in the photos. There will be professional photos next week.

No where else can any luthier buy more continuing education for $100 than at a LINT Master's Class. That goes double this March 21 when Sharon and Doug Proper will give us a double barrel full day of learning. If you want to learn more about guitars, be there. Only a few seats remain.

The 2026 LINT Master Class with Doug & Sharon Proper of The Guitar Specialist is right around the corner on March 21st! Doug and Sharon are masters of guitar repair and restoration and are the best in the business. They will be presenting us with a boot camp on fret work. You can register for the class at the LINT web site and if you join LINT, there’s a $10 discount on the tuition for the master class.

I’m pore filling the LH14 that is going to the Artisan Show in April. Killer sapele. A rare one piece back - thank you Rivolta Woods.

For a builder to have one of the best and most respected players on the planet come to his shop, and play his instruments, is a dream come true!

Here are the tuners for this mun ebony Saddle Pal. VS Tuners, as good as they get!

The Italian Saddle pal has reached the Fellowship of Acoustics in the Netherlands. Hopefully one of the 17,000 people who admired it here on Facebook in the last week will be making it theirs soon. It is time to move on to the next guitars for NAMM. This Saddle Pal is mun ebony back and sides with one of those great Abies Project Italian alpine spruce tops from the forest of Stradivari.
