West Corinth Studio marquetry guitars
Information
Husband and wife Isaac Willis and Heidi Shaulis are the team behind West Corinth Studio. Living in the hills of Orange County, Vermont, they make and sell wooden craft items and artworks. They also produce some unique guitars, like the "Eat Your Heart Out" a semi-hollow bodied electric guitar made from salvaged wood.
The extensive use of contrasing wooden inlays, wooden pickguard, wooden pickup mounting rings and the Florentine cutaway are reminiscent of Paul Bigsby's 1948 electric guitar built for Merle Travis.
