Greg's Arum. A couple things- the multi scale is 24.8-24.3, and the middle fret is the 12th. Don't listen to the guy in the video.

Nitrocellulose lacquer is lovely.

Well, I am very happy to report that my new 2026 spec guitar has been claimed, and will be welcomed into its new home by a couple of older and more experienced Wilborn guitars.

Call me old fashioned, but I love jet black, straight grained ebony fingerboards. I just got this stellar shipment from Rahoul Waghmare.

Here’s a Nautilus I’ve been building in the tiny spaces in between commissions. Because I have too much free time? No- because I couldn’t wait to see this Brazilian rosewood with spalted sapwood in guitar form. And that honey- striped cedar as well. Now I’m in the home stretch of the building, and this guitar will be available in a couple months.

Day two of five in the booth for this beautiful Arum in Brazilian and Tunnel 14 redwood.
