BUILD NOTES / STORY

Yes! This guitar started it’s life as a writing desk that was manufactured in San Francisco, California by the John Breuner Furniture Company.  The wood was harvested well over 100 years ago, and for it’s first 80years of life it was my Grandmothers writing desk.

It sat idle for years and I knew it could have a second life, and spend the next 80 years inspiring someone to play. So here it is.  Nealy 100% of the wood in this guitar came from that writing desk, with the exceptions being the Ebony for the fingerboard and the Purpleheart in the neck.
