My wife did agree :-))))))) I´ve just signed a commision agreement with Jim for my first custom guitar. It´s going to get a chocolate cedar top, bubinga back and sides, the bodybinding will be in curly white maple; mahogany neck with macassar fingerboard with ebony binding. The rosette will be a spiral of bubinga and curly white maple. Only trouble is that I´ll have to wait until march 2012. Construction will start in summer 2011. I can´t wait :-) Here I am again.

I have been wanting to get back there, especially to see how that vine guitar is going...it was quite stunning. If I need a luthier I will not hesitate to call Jim. As for the custom guitar...hmm, well maybe after I put my kids thru college! :) Wow, that’s pretty cool!

I´m just a beginner and my guitar teacher mentioned to me, that I should consider to take my Madrigal 98C (my second guitar I´ve ever bought) to a luthier, to have the action lowered. So I looked up the luthiers around my town (Sterling,VA),and I´ve found Jim Warwick. I was very nervous to take my "Internet-bought" guitar to "a man who builds guitars". Especially after I´ve seen his craftsmanship and Robs artisan woodwork on their website. But Jim is a very friendly and professional guy. I liked him on the spot. He even said some nice things about my guitar (which I consider galaxies away from his standard). He did a wonderful job on my Madrigal and I took my first selfbought Guitar (Ibanez V 322 12-string), which I own for about 35 years also to him for a look up and it´s very first maintenance. Again the experience was just wonderful I was able to watch Jim do his magic. Needless to say he did an excellent job. If I get my wife to agree I´ll surely order a custom guitar build by him, and maybe also with som eye-candy made by Rob. I had the very same experience.
