Haha! Yeah we were going to make some “it has a dry sound” or “this guitar will make you a regular player” jokes. We offer classes where students can come and build a guitar with us in a week. At the end of the week the entire guitar is built just without the lacquer. After the finishing process, I set it up and ship it to the owner. This student came from Germany to Texas for the experience. It’s a blast! We have a lot of fun in those weeks. The only downside is that we’re booked for the next two years, but please contact us if you’re interested.

@ I lost the last part of your reply. Does the student pay extra for the privilege of working with you? How does it work?

@@hidesertmusic if you’re interested, please email Ryan at nacluth@duck.com. He can give you all the info for the class.

Thanks! Yeah wives are not only loving but very patient. 😅 Appreciate the kind words.

Merry Christmas to you as well! Did you get the notification this time? We don’t want you missing out on any videos. 😁

Thanks so much! Tulipwood is quite striking but it’s bold. There has to be the right combo for it to work. I think it’s just hard to find good pieces of the pear. We’ll be on the hunt for some. 😃

Thanks! We’re glad you stopped by!

Thank you sir. Video can’t get everything across. 😁

Appreciate that!

Thanks Kevin for the kind comment.

@@stephenkinnairdguitars welcome

Thanks mucho, Hap! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

@@StephenKinnaird-yd2ks I plan on it my friend!!

Thanks James! Glad you liked it.

Thanks a lot! We appreciate the kind words.

Thank you! It’s similar in stats to Indian Rosewood. And surprisingly has a similar sound. Thanks for the compliment.

@@stephenkinnairdguitars you bet you deserve it

Thanks Frank for the extremely nice words. We’re glad you enjoyed this one, but I have a feeling you’ll enjoy the next student build video more. 😁appreciate you stopping by.

Classicals are a different animal than steel strings, but patterned after an 1881 Torres, we believe we have a good Kinnaird version of a nylon string guitar. Thanks! You know where to find us. 😀

Thank you sir! As someone who knows what a good 000-12 should be like, it means a lot.

🤣 One should always sit on a firm stool for the best playing posture.

😂 Hmmm, how do I paraphrase this 🤔…. the medical application of this particular kind of prune is external ….. rather than creating pressure internally, it is designed to create stress relief by soundwave treatment to the ears in particular and the thorax in general - if applied correctly and while sitting on a proper stool

Haha! We have a type.

Thanks! 🤞for someday.

Thanks Peter! We really appreciate that. Yes, we’re of course over the moon that JP ran into us at a show and liked our instrument so much that he had to take it with him. Glad you found us too. Thanks for the kind words.

On his live stream JP was asked to pick the best guitar he's touched in 2024 - without hesitation, "Steve Kinnaird's". They leave a lasting impression!

Thanks Kevin! Appreciate the love.

Thanks also from me Kevin, I am grinning from ear to ear 😁

Thanks Jacques. They built it in one week in our shop. It’s amazing what one can accomplish when you set your mind to it. 😀

Grazie!

Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks Steve! A good 12 fretter is hard to beat. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much! Yes, it's bookmatched and that plum tree must have been bigger than any I’ve seen. 🤣

Haha! That is really some of the most insanely curly and beautiful koa that you will ever see. Of course it could just be tempting you so you will fall under its power. 🧝‍♀️🌋👁️

@@stephenkinnairdguitars dang! I kinda thought it might be! A dream wood I hope to on day justify working with…but just starting my acoustic building this past year…got a few years to go before I lay down $1k+ for a premium set like that…lol!

Well when you do, hit up John at ResonantTonewood@gmail.com. He’s got some of the best woods at the best prices - especially ebony and koa. Tell him I sent you. Or maybe not…no it will be fine. I think. 😃

@@stephenkinnairdguitars thankyou for the lead on tonewoods…always good to have multiple sources! Love your channel…God Bless!

We really appreciate it! Happy Holidays to you as well.

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

Appreciate it!

Wow! Thanks so much. We’re glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much!

Yep. This one has been sold. We do have the sister sets of the wood though, so we could build a close replica. Thanks for asking!

Yessir. It would make a wonderful Christmas present. It’s listed here on our for sale on our website: stephenkinnaird.com/sitka%2Fcuban-12-string.

@@stephenkinnairdguitars for me :). Thank you Steve.

😂 I wish I could! 🤣

Thanks! The customer just brought it back and it’s gotten even better with age. 😵 😁

Thanks! We really appreciate the compliment. Keep on rockin’.

Thank you Jeff, we appreciate that!

You know it! 😆

It’s a great combo!

Thank you so much!

Should sound good. We have a Adi/Sapele Dread video that you could check out. Should be clear and have a lot of fundamental. No reason why your combination shouldn’t excel sonically.

@@stephenkinnairdguitars I'll check out your channel . Thanks Oh I forgot it's a 19 fret 24.75" scale with a 19 inch body probably going to be 5 inch deep or close to it.

@newffee it does seem like an awfully short scale on a 13 fret big body. Are you going for a certain feel?

@@stephenkinnairdguitars I was hoping for a lower bass feel. Should the scale be longer?

@newffee typically longer scales provide more oomph on bigger bodies. The air volume should supply all the bass you need.

No worries Jeff. We’re honored you like our stuff.

Thanks Jeff. This one is available for $9400. Our custom builds start at $7500. Please write us at stephenkinnaird@gmail.com or visit our website stephenkinnaird.com if you’re interested.

@@stephenkinnairdguitars are you saying this one is still available? That has to be the most beautiful back and sides ever!

@bikerfry thanks for writing! It just sold earlier in the day yesterday. We do have a very similar set of wood in our shop if you are ever interested in having one built. 😃

@@stephenkinnairdguitars uh oh

Yep. Just double checked. I have the sister set to this guitar. 👀😁
