Coming Soon 00-DM 14 fret sinker redwood top/ Hawaiian koa back and sides

Coming Soon:

00-DM 14 fret sinker redwood top on Hawaiian koa back and sides is in the works.  The beauty of Hawaiian koa is unquestionable as a guitar tone wood.  It mellows out any top it is paired with. Listen for deep resonances and singing natural overtones when matched with the 150 year old sinker top I have selected.  Projected completion May 2018.  

Check the blog for pictures and follow the building progress.  Coming soon...

Bruce McGuire's classical guitar project

I have recently completed the classical guitar commission given me by the family of Santa Cruz, California luthier Bruce McGuire.  Bruce was an inspiration to many, most notably to Santa Cruz Guitars' founder Richard Hoover, and gave of his time and talents to many an aspiring luthier - including me.  When Bruce passed away unexpectedly last year he left a special project only partially completed.  He planned to give his grandson this classical guitar as a present on his graduation from high school.  I was honored to be asked to complete it.

Arthur Seay of the stoner rock bands Unida and House of Broken Promises endorses Dey Martin Guitars. Arthur is also a personal guitar tech for some of the world's most famous rock bands, ie., Godsmack, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot.  

Here is what Arthur Seay has to say about my guitars, "Dey Martin's guitars are totally handmade, precision and beautiful." "TOTALLY BADASS!"

Here Arthur enjoys playing this Dey Martin 00-DM acoustic steel string.  He started playing it and just didn't want to put it down so he promptly ordered one!  Seay is now on European rock tour with Unida bandmate and singer John Garcia who is the former singer of famed desert rock act Kyuss.  

Unida guitarist Arthur Seay plays Dey Martin acoustic.  

Model Q Baritone Custom Ukulele

Here is my model Q baritone custom ukulele.  Aptly named because of the Q letter design of the sound hole.  It was handmade to order for a bass player who loved his Kamaka baritone ukulele but wanted a longer neck and extra frets.  I combined a cutaway with Kasha tonebars top and flipped the sound hole to the bass side.   He loved it.
