Andy Culpepper Picks a Beautiful Set of Cocobolo for His New GSI Guitar.

Andy Culpepper from Ithaca, New York, is currently finishing building another guitar for us. Andy is an excellent maker and over the years of our friendship, we have watched his building style develop. He makes exceptionally well-made traditional Spanish-style guitars.  In terms of the construction, Andy makes guitars with the “open bar” system of top bracing where the outer fan struts pass through openings in the harmonic bards. This system provides extreme responsiveness, and a clear, beautiful tone.

Check out some sneak peek photos that Andy shared with us. It's a cedar top guitar with the back and sides made out of cocobolo. If you are interested in this guitar, don't hesitate to reach out to us with more questions!
