Hi guys, I have been very busy at my shop Lord of the Strings

I haven't made an oud since December, but finished a violin and two classical guitars.. and now working on a flamenco guitar. I'm pretty sure the next project will be an Arabic oud. Of course I've been busy with oud repairs and other instruments as well. Just wanted to touch base with some of you guys to let you know I'm still around and check the forums every now and then. If you are in the area (upstate, NY) please stop by anytime.

Here are the Spanish guitars I've completed recently.

Classical guitar 1

Classical guitar 2

Thanks,
John Vergara

Lord of the Strings shop tour

You will see John listening to the greatest master of Flamenco music, Paco De Lucia, some ouds and guitars on the wall by John Vergara, a Karibyan oud (1954), and a flamenco blanca in the making.
