Shari's Parlour

When Shari approached me to build her a guitar, she emphasized this was the first she was buying on her own, despite having been a guitar player for many years. Couple that with the fact that most guitars weren't comfortable to her, I set off to make something that was sweet sounding, easy playing and reflected her personal flare . This guitar is mostly made from local and reclaimed material, minus the bridge. Lilac sparkle had been on my colour bucket list for a while, and I couldn't think of a more appropriate person to sport this look.
