I grew up in Cedar Rapids, IA and went to school in Iowa City. I'd love to visit John's shop the next time I'm in the area. Thanks for posting this.

With the amount of time he put into building that CNC router he probably needs to make 200 guitars to get it all back. JD is the sandwich top pioneer in the United States. He learned the fine art through collaboration with Gernot Wagner. It was he who passed it on to other makers who again passed it on. His guitars are already a bargain.

I enjoyed playing both of them more than the Thames double top my friend has. I won't be selling my Thames to buy one, however. -CD I think they were both good, but it’s hard to tell in a small room.

He seems to be doing a successfully merger of modern techniques with time tested older techniques. The cnc router makes good sense and I wonder if it makes his guitars a little less expensive since he saves some time with it? The ceder topped guitar seemed to have an outstanding upper register but kind of thin in the first couple of positions. While the spruce top was almost opposite. Was that your impression? Of course, I cannot really get the full impression over computer speakers! I am looking forward to playing one (or more) of John's guitars at GFA con.
