Although the picture shows two styles of
headstock used for these instruments,
Matty has informed me that he is just
offering one HS shape. Both a shallow
and a deep box model body shape are
available. I love the fact that the brand
of tonality you get really depends on what
brand of cigar you like.







Royce kindly demonstrated the Cuban deep
box model. Surprisingly, it had enough volume
to fill the room. The film clip on the right
 was recorded straight on my Sony Mavica
using the built in mic.

Joi Yui of LA Guitar Works checks out the cigar
box resophonic guitar. Matty calls it a "Resofiddle"..

Gary takes a moment to enjoy the Resofiddle.

Next Matty reveals his Les Paul Deluxe
reproduction. It is a beautifully done
Black and Gold LP. He told us that since
he can not afford all the instruments he
would like to own, he plans to make copies
of all of them for himself. That sounds
great as long as he makes 2 of each.
I'm a guitar addict too.


Matty takes a bow...
After all the work and all the toil, it is nice to
have your craftsmanship be appreciated by your peers.
