Members Delmont Posted September 16, 2017 Members Share Posted September 16, 2017 PS - That FJ article about the Maine luthier appeared under my real name, Charlie Bernstein. Harmony Central wouldn't let me use it for my user name, so I use Delmont instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Delmont Posted September 30, 2017 Members Share Posted September 30, 2017 Joshua - I just played a hand-made guitar by a Waterville, Maine, luthier, Dennis Patkus. Feather-light, wonderful sound, gorgeous wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikeo Posted September 30, 2017 Members Share Posted September 30, 2017 Joshua - I just played a hand-made guitar by a Waterville, Maine, luthier, Dennis Patkus. Feather-light, wonderful sound, gorgeous wood. There are so many great luthiers out there. We have 2 in the area here, one of was student of the other guy. Steve's work is more traditional. His stuff probably starts at 3-4 grand and works it's way up to 10 grand. Steve S doesn't have a website and is busy as all he'll just by word of mouth. The Brier Road guy, does have a website and builds an interesting acoutsic. They sound fantastic, you can pick you own woods and every detail that goes into making the guitar, with a custom builder. A friend of mine had Steve doing tumbling maple leaves going down the fret board. It was a smaller parlor guitar and it sounded amazing. There's a guy out an Northampton Mass too, called Bill Cumpiano. I think he's still around. I was wrong about Steve not having a web site. He's moving into the modern world. http://www.sauveguitars.com/ http://www.brierroadguitars.com/ http://www.harrybecker.net/Luthier/Contact.html http://www.newenglandluthiers.org/contents/Articles/Classes/Making_A_Guitar_With_William_Cumpiano.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delmont Posted September 30, 2017 Members Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yup. That's what I said earlier. It's the golden age of handmade guitars. If Josh can't find one, he's awfully particular. Or, as Freeman suggested, nonexistent. But he seemed to be asking us to name names, so I named one.
