Here’s a unique Custom Guitar Body. This is a 7/8ths size Strat design. This approach yields a smaller, lighter guitar that feels good in your hands. This top is a single piece of Redwood almost 3/4″ thick. The back is a laminate of Alder, Korina, Maple and Mahogany.
Another beautiful build by Steve Vaughn from Ontario. Steve finished this custom guitar with Tru-oil and installed Fender pickups and tailpiece. Steve is a pleasure to work with and always does great work. This top is an interesting piece of Claro Walnut.
Steve Vaughn from Ontario Canada ordered this custom body after seeing the wood for sale online
and specifying that particular piece. It’s a unique piece of Claro Walnut crotch wood laminated to Mahogany. Steve is a talented builder, I’ll be posting pictures of the completed custom guitar soon, stay tuned.
Mario Bennewitz from München Germany custom-ordered this Spalted Wolfgang. Hard to find left-handed designs around, this will make a unique guitar. I will post some pictures of the completed project when Mario is finished. Another Custom
Guitar Body
from fine Vedder Mountain Woods.

Steve Vaughn from Ontario Built this beautiful custom guitar based on a flamed maple custom guitar body from The Inventing Shed. Vedder Mountain Hardwoods supplied the bookmatched top set, Steve did a nice job with this!

Finished up a couple of quilted maple top Custom Guitar Bodies today, thought I’d post some pictures. These are both basswood backs, some of the details are left undone so the client can spec it out to their liking. These will both make a great sounding custom guitar when completed.
The top Custom Guitar Body is a Wolfgang shape routed for a tremolo tailpiece, nice quilted spalted maple top.
The second picture is a Custom Telecaster from Corrina with an Alder back and a Padouk accent strip.
Here’s another photo sent to me by a client. This was a custom order built to the client’s specs. The body is one-piece Mahogany with one of Christina and Mike’s Spalted Maple tops. The client did the finish work and final assembly himself.
Andrew is a talented musician and experienced guitar builder from the Minneapolis area. You can [...]
Thought I would post these pictures, this is a custom guitar built by David Smith from Washington D.C. He built this using a custom guitar body he bought from me which I made from wood I bought from Vedder Mountain Hardwoods. Nice work!
