Happy belated Thanksgiving! Did you know that most of the tone comes from the Ekoa top? Here are two instrument builds pending composite bracing. Also, we seal the inside and outside of these incredibly resonant soundboards to ensure stability.

Loving these Blackbirds in sunburst

Here's a little video I made throughout a short stint in Mexico! It's a montage of me playing the chords to 'Autumn Leaves' on the Savoy in various airports, hotel rooms, and beaches - this little guitar made such a great travel companion and hardly required any tuning! Regardless of whether I was on a windy beach or a noisy BART car, the Savoy was always a joy to play. Can't wait for the next trip!

It is 87% humidity here in Sayulita and 90 degrees pretty much every day. The Savoy goes with me to the beach and then back to my dry, air conditioned hotel room numerous times a day. These massive fluctuations in temperature and humidity would cause normal wooden guitars to swell and shift, but the Savoy handles them with ease and generally requires very little tuning after doing so!
