holy grail guitar show 18

Nicolai Schorr shows off two convention-defying solidbodies with things like clever neck-adjustment mechanisms, movable pickups, and externally mounted components.

Oakland-based Argentine builder Leonardo Buendia demos a modified dreadnought with some of the most eye-poppingly figured “tortoiseshell” mahogany we’ve ever seen.

Barcelona luthier Xavier Lorita demos a headturning 5-string with impressive active/passive circuitry and a lovely, highly unusual 5-bolt neck joint.
