Whipple Creek Guitars

Whipple Creek Guitars I build acoustic guitars and do complete professional repair on all makes from setups to neck resets. Please call before visiting.

I use hide glue and guitars are built from patterns and specs from vintage Martins and Gibsons that have crossed my bench.

I'll have three leftys up for sale in a bit. Two personal small body and a Telecaster. This is an extremely hard decision, and I'm bummed, but with an age related bad right hand trigger finger injury and not really taking the time like I used to since moving, I just can't get it back to the level I want, nor seem to make the progress. Someone needs to play these. It's slide guitar all the way now. If you're interested, CALL me, I'm not going to play tag on here with comments and messages. Still can work a chisel and plane though. Trades for a Martin Committee trumpet would be cool.

Coming up in Madison, Wisconsin.

Pre war style D18 Red Spruce, figured Honduran Mahogany, Zircote fingerboard and matching bridge. The back and sides is wet to show the figure after it's sprayed. The jig is for measuring the neck angle, fingerboard thickness is the wide board, just lay it on and measure the distance under the top board. Beats juggling straight edges and stuff. One handed. Very light body and neck.

What can I say, I love these little guys, Honduran rosewood and Red spruce 12 fret OO. You just Think you need a Dreadnaught. Martin really nailed it with double Os. Never heard a bad one 14 or 12 fret. Surprising volume, balance and clarity.
