  • This is the first Kathy Wingert Harp Guitar. The project was inspired and guided by my client and friend, Frank Doucette. We collaborated (and lived to tell) on the design elements, and the lovely Glasgow school inspired "Muse" in the headstock was designed by Christa Percival. Jimmi provided the inlay expertise.

    With kind generosity, Gregg Miner provided me with examples of historic instruments to examine. Frank and Gregg brought to the project more experience than I would have been able to gather on my own. The assignment I was given was to bring the "Wingert sound" to this instrument. I think I saw Frank smile. Better pictures will be added to the main site at a later date.

    One of the great pleasures of being an independent luthier is to have the chance to make custom guitars for discriminating customers looking for the guitar of their dreams. I love the creative part of being a guitar maker. Helping a guitarist design a guitar to fit his or her body, hands, and style of play is what custom luthiers do, and that is only a small part of what sets the hand-made guitar apart from high-end factory guitars.

    Custom hand-made, high-quality guitars, whether a steel-string guitar or classical guitar, should reflect the heart of the luthier and the desires of the player. Acoustic guitars are such a versatile and beautiful way to express musical ideas, that it is no wonder they are so popular, and it is the rare musical genre or soloist or group that does not include a guitar.

    With so many beautiful guitars available, it is no wonder that we are in what has been referred to as the "Golden Age of Lutherie." It seems to me that it is really the "Golden Age of Information" where a player, with the desire to find just the right fit in a guitar, is able to find a guitar across the country or across the world; and the luthiers who build them are able to find parts, tools, and materials that were almost unobtainable to our independent guitar making pioneers.
