Here are some photos from the latest Robert Ruck tribute model. It features a beautiful old cedar top from the 1970s, Indian rosewood back and sides, 650mm scale, hand-engraved Barnett tuning machines. Based on a 1979 guitar with his early bracing system featuring 6 fans and a treble bar, this is the second of 30 guitars I will be making with wood from the Ruck workshop.

Hearing the Concerto de Aranjuez played for the first time on one of my guitars by my dear friend and brilliant guitarist Florian Palier was a real treat - not to mention in the beautiful Minoritensaal packed and overflowing into the halls.
Got some new labels printed. It's been a fun, but time-consuming project. The first is a combination of two different Ruck labels for my Robert Ruck tribute model and the second is my new label taken from an old collection of ornaments documented from all over the world. This one in particular is an Italian renaissance motif. They were letterpressed by Infinitive Factory in Graz.
