beauty           purpose          character Sometimes dazzling woods seem to contribute the essential beauty in a fine handmade instrument. I feel that while this is often a very lovely part of the allure, the real essence of beauty in a guitar has much more to do with the details of tonal balance, power, ultra-precise playability, and fine craftsmanship. Working with the finest materials provides inspiration to make something truly refined in all of these aspects. When you pick up a great instrument, or any other finely made thing, you feel right away that there's something entirely right about it. Every detail contributes something particularly relevant, and the result is a singular, thematically unified creation of beauty, purpose, and character. I strive to build this into every one of my guitars, and in this way, I am very proud of the results shown here. w w w . m u s t a p i c k g u i t a r s . c o m
