MIMF

A newfangled design of mine. Very lightweight and 50% African woods used.

Mark, just mentioned it compared to anywhere else. I've learned to add my name over the years. But yes, maybe here I don't need a name but still, the pic has to be tiny. Not a big deal, just a mention.

DIVA. My newest solid body electric design.

Moondancer, my most recent jazzy archtop project. Euro spruce free-carved top with kiaat back and sides.
PS. This forum photo size restriction seems to be ridiculous compared to others ??

MISTRAL. A thinline, upside-down** electric/acoustic hybrid designed and built for stage performance. It is fully hollow and it sports a Schertler magnetic pickup with a dedicated mic input. ** instead of hiding the more beautiful wood (birdseye) at the back, I use it for the soundboard where it can...

For nobody in particular, i often just design and build, eventually someone may buy it:-)

My newest design/build, "moondance". Hollow body carved back, front and insides. Iconix pups and Schertler tuners.

Perfetto Mauro

Cover held by 2 screws from underneath. Some players would want it without the cover though. Not one one for "specs" really but what would you like to know? 635mm scale, iconix pups, gotoh tuners, hipshot bridge, cherry body, birdseye top, small chamber at the air "intakes". Oh, ...

One of my latest electric designs/builds.

Lots of pics here too ... http://www.pinterest.com/murraykuun/mur ... -lutherie/

Have done both. One can build a flat top that is as good as a dome top, just depends on how flat and how domed. Ervin Somogyi recons either works well, depends on the implementation

I had veneer lay-ons made in 2 colours. 1,2mm thick in total and laid it on the sides (which have triple laminated linings).
Then I uses an eliptical section router bit to round off the top.

The back.

A client like the sound of my Moon and Stars classical and liked the look of the La Dolce Vita steel string.
The La Vita was born. Same fanned lattice bracing as the M+S. Sounds fantastic.

You may have noticed that this is a heel-less design.
I figured this way, access to higher frets is a bit better and I believe there is more wood contact which should improve sustain (maybe).

The back.

Thanks fellows. This detail should show the rosette and edge detail better.
I'll also see if I can find a construction pic. The back is lovely Madagascar.

This is also a recent design by myself. My younger brother's first build under my supervision.

Another pic

I designed and made a new steel string a few months ago, la dolce vita.
My own shape design with art deco (ish), 3D "rosette" and my new soft edge detailing where the "binding" is laid horizonatally.
Lattice internal bracing, sounds wonderful.
