I like doing the side sound holes as it directs sound toward the player as well when in a group. Pickup is a Kent Armstrong floater off the ebony pickguard. You can see how big it is standing beside a regular archtop with 18" bout and an archtop, tenor ukulele in the background on the one pic.


I can’t imagine the hours that went into any of those. They’re works of art, good call on getting a photo shoot for them
