New Models for 2008:

The 'Roscoe Special' features a 2 piece lightweight mahogany body, 25.5" scale maple neck with Indian rosewood fingerboard, Seymour Duncan P-90 pickups and compensated stop bar tailpiece. Co-designed with Eric 'Roscoe' Ambel, it is a serious, no-frills tone machine that is a study in simplicity. Weighing in at 6.75 pounds, it is comfortable to play all night long. The Special's unique voice can be used for many styles of music. Phat Twang!

The 'Noel Rosa Signature' is a chambered mahogany hollowbody with a braced Koa top, 25.5" maple neck and fingerboard, Waverly tuners coupled with the L.R. Baggs Element pickup and 3 band EQ system. This guitar was created to fill the need for guitarists requiring an acoustic sound onstage without feedback hassles of an amplified flattop acoustic guitar. It looks, feels and plays like an electric, but sounds like an acoustic! The NRS will be available with Sitka Spruce, Western Red Cedar and Redwood soundboards as well.

Finland's Guitar Fan Magazine does story on Stonetree & Jeff Cobble: Since Jeff has been writing about his chops for the magazine they ran a story about the guitar I built for Jeff.

David Bray Marshall Mods: What's a great guitar without an amplifier? Pretty quiet...I don't build amps, but I certainly appreciate a fine tube powered amp. I keep a blackface Deluxe reverb, beefed up silverface Princeton reverb, Mesa Blue Angel 4X10 and a Dr. Z Maz 18 jr. for gigging and testing of my guitars. David Bray brought one of his modded Marshall half stacks over and I was knocked out! Imagine getting that great dimed Marshall tone at levels that won't get you tossed out of a club--he really has tamed the beast. Do not confuse his work with typical master volume distortion--plus he can custom tailor gain and eq to meet your needs. See www.davidbrayamps.com. Update: I simply had to have one of Dave's hotrods, so I found a 1987x 50 watt reissue and had him do the Mod I, dual master and the 'Slow Attack' switch. I have to say it is one smokin' amp...if you are looking for the ultimate brown tone, this unit has it in spades!
