I'm Andy and currently living and building guitars in Victoria BC. I've been doing it as a hobby for 20+ years now but decided to get into it as a business a few years ago (http://www.apscustom.com/). I have been doing the same old designs that everyone else is doing, changing it up with exotic woods, and making some killer guitars, but still not doing anything radically different, until now.
A friend of mine turned me on to "Live Edge". Meaning, using the Edge of the tree as the edge of the guitar. This has been done with furniture for years, but never with a guitar.
So this was the first of many more to come using the live edge style. The back is a select piece of Walnut while the top is a natural piece of maple. These guitars look INCREDIBLE and they play even better.
I just moved locations and am busy getting the shop up and running again. Everything has been moved with the exception of the table saw and jointer. So, I should be ready to go in about a week.
So there you go, my first blog and your first look at the live edge guitar.
