http://chrisbilham.bandcamp.com/album/broken-down-2 7 Photos this version of the 8 string guitar has normal tuning with double high B and high E strings. the shape of the guitar is derived from making the top half of the body smaller and more contoured to match the human body and be easier and more comfortable to play. The sound hole is offset to be in the center of the upper bout since the guitar is cut-away to make the upper register of frets reachable and playable. the neck angle is adjustable to set the string height. 13 Photos http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kafoury 5 Photos Big Fatty II

Highly functional works of art, sculptured for musicians
That’s outta sight Ken. : )
Love the bevels and the organic shapes.
i like how you have crystals in your work environment
Hi Ken,
How long does it take to build some thing like this? What type of deposit do you need to get a guitar started?
Thanks,
James
Both these guitars took 5-6 years to build. fully carved inside and out, wood binding takes a long time to inlay around the edge. these were both custom designs requested by Ben and Tom my best guess is that i will likely be able to finish new guitars like these in a few years. it is nearly impossible to give a exact time frame because if i see a way to make it better i will keep working until it is finished. i am currently working on a couple of guitars that won’t have binding and will be finished in the next couple of months.
usually deposits are 50% of the quoted price.
$6,000 +
How much do these guitars go for?
