Get yourself what you really want for Christmas this year: a Bridge Builder Oxcart. These 3 builds are available with some options still still to choose. Save the year wait and claim one of these now. These all have an estimated completion of January
Every once and a great while I’ll get a call from @ladrumguy asking if I can show up in random cities in a few hours to work for @walkthemoon. This past Thursday was one of those days. I got to witness a few Jazzbuilders and the lone (for now)

#27: the Mini-JazzBuilder A while back @brosemaiman and I had a comical conversation about a short scale, reduced size JazzBuilder. Well, turns out it wasn’t as farcical as we thought it’d be. Drawing inspiration from the Fender’s

#22 in ‘22 This JazzBuilder may be fender inspired in shape, but it’s all Les Paul in its appointments. Pearl block inlays, Amber finish courtesy of our friends @wilkinsguitars, and great sounding humbuckers from the fine people @porterp
Bridge Builder #24: no more basses, at least until the next one. I’ve said as long as @maybass77 is making basses I shouldn’t be. But I’m easily swayed by money, so here I sit with a FireBrose Bass. This spalted top and back was gr
Bridge Builder #20: Little brother What do you do when you own the only Bridge Builder bass? Why of course you order a matching guitar. That’s exactly what the owner of the our #13 Firebrose bass did. But this bad boy takes the original up a f
#21: Myrtle JazzBuilder If I played guitar I’d play this guitar. This is so many of my favorite things wrapped into an instrument. Light weight (6 lbs 9 oz), @porterpickups Classic and smooth set, black hardware, directional coil splits, ringe
She may not look like much, but she’ll do point five past light speed. To celebrate my 42nd trip around the sun I bought this place. Coming September 2022: Bridge Builder Studios, the home of @jkennedyguitars, @bridgebuilderguitars , @grog_gu
#23 JazzBuilder Basic My attempt at building a “basic” guitar failed miserably. My basic is still ridiculous; I have trouble cutting back. I tried building a more simple guitar that still has some of my main attractions (strategically ch
Almost a guitar... Also, doing the finish on this thing makes me appreciate @wilkinsguitars @jhayespaint_wilkinsguitars and @r0b1ec even more than I already did! #bridgebuilderguitars #customguitars #pickups #handbuiltguitars #🎸#🎸🎸🎸 #lutherie

Happy accident: the top cut off for the headstock veneer was just a touch too short so I went with my 4+2 headstock (usually reserved for my Static Y models). I’m digging it on this Myrtle top and back JazzBuilder. This guitar is available for

After this Oxcart went home our buddy @curt.powell discovered he heeded some help navigating things. We opted to add some face dots. We went for bonus points with silver outlined purple Epoxy dots. Photos show the final dots and process pics. #brid
