Can anyone point me in the right direction for luthiers who make traditional dreadnoughts with FAT necks up to about $4k?
I like 1” at the first fret, no taper. 43mm nut and volutes are ideal.
Anywhere in the country but somewhere between NYC and dc would be great so I could potentially go to their workshop.
Not opposed to luthiers abroad either!
Thanks!
You should have attended the Artisan Guitar Show this past weekend. There were many luthiers exhibiting that you could have talked with in person. It’s not a difficult task for us to carve a neck to your specs though many may far exceed your price point.
