Hi, I'm Don and I build quality short scale guitars. If you're looking for something a bit more special than an off-the-rack import cheapie, I can build you a work of art for not a whole lot more.

Short scale guitars are easier to play, easier to travel with, and sound just fine when they're made right. I build them by hand out of good tonewoods and "budget conscious" parts that work great and won't break the bank.

I've worked at Birdsong Guitars in Texas helping to make boutique instruments so these will play & sound really good. There's a lot of craftsmanship in each one.

Students, travelers, or anyone wanting a slightly smaller, lighter, easier fingering guitar... here you go!  Thanks for looking and contact me with any questions...

How do they sound? Scott from Birdsong test drives a "Fat T" prototype:



*
24" scale for comfort
*
Hand built attention to detail
* Exotic woods, hand rubbed finish
*
Value, tone & mojo... anything else?

hollow3.jpg (236420 bytes) hollow1.jpg (210099 bytes) hollow2.jpg (180222 bytes) Prototype Hollow "Chunk" model
VERY chambered Pine & Poplar body
Maple neck, Rosewood fretboard
Upgrade Epiphone PAF humbuckers

As a designer/builder, what works in concept in the mind and on the page has to work in the real world in ways that can't be felt before it's actually in your hands. So we build prototypes; sometimes several. Nothing further needed with this one, it's practically alive. 

With a funky hidden piezo pickup (with your amp on high gain it'll give you an acoustic tone), a 5-way, and a 6-way varitone, it's a total blues & jazz machine that rocks out too. You can feel it vibrate against you acoustically... very resonant! 


SALE $795 including gig bag & shipping in the continental USA. 

3dnug3c.jpg (211888 bytes) 3dnug3d.jpg (135054 bytes) NUGGET model
Cherry & wild Spalted Pecan with Walnut stringers
Flame Maple neck, Rosewood fretboard with graphite nut
2 Humbuckers & funky hidden pickup for acoustic tones
5-way switch, volume & 6-way varitone


Depth and clarity, a great sounding guitar with slightly hotter pickups. That's wild local Pecan for the wings and pictures just don't do this rustic wood justice. And the flame in the Maple neck is gorgeous.

$795 including gig bag & shipping in the continental USA.

3D's Short Scale Guitar Models

The Jr.T

The Nugget

The Chunk

Birdsong Bboxes


Small, lightweight 3/4 size T
Traditional look & sound but with added varitone control and funky hidden 3rd pickup!

Also available in a thicker, bluesy chambered body version... the "FatT"


Ergonomic single cutaway body
More robust humbucker tones
...also with a varitone & hidden 3rd pickup.

Shown in Pecan; many woods available... inquire.


Same features as a Nugget in a bigger body.

I also do a thicker-bodied hollowed-out version of this guitar, chambered for tone & weight. A blues machine!

Some to come will even have carved figured Maple tops!

Totally passive, no batteries, these are not "stomp boxes" but wonderful tools for live & studio tone shaping; turn your Strat into a jazz box, give your lead an instant dose of Santana wail, make your bass punch through a mix with the 6-way varitone.

Boxes are completely hand crafted & wired. $100 to $125
