Outstanding!
Wowie-zowie!
Pau Ferro fingerboard, bound in curly Koa with maple purfling. Pau Ferro is very hard and reasonably light. It has very small pores, and often has beautiful coloration. A great alternative to rosewood for fingerboards, bridges as well as backs and sides.
outstanding, Wilborn!
Absolutely beautiful
That is nice. Looks very glassy.
Like the color in the wood.
Flamed wood binding. What's not to like?
Gorgeous work
Wow! What is that maple? Looks very different from European one, much deeper texture and not white at all!
nice fret board
Really enjoy seeing your craftwork. Hope you don't lose the personal touch. Do the neck and fret board need to have a direct transference of input, (in a sense inert ), or can they have some resonance of their own, ( in a sense contributive )?
a quarter sawn fret board....a new fashion I think...new woods ...Beautiful
Really pretty!
Very, very nice!
Cocobolo bevel on African Blackwood and 50 year old Sitka. Man, that is juicy!!!!!

You do some beautiful work my man. My hat's off to you. I just wish I could afford one of your guitars.

A landmark moment here at Wilborn Guitars. My son Leo (11) helped me make a little tool, reached inside the Black and White Bantam and planed down two back braces that I couldn’t reach. He’s been showing some interest in the shop lately and he’s a smart, mechanically intuitive kid. He did a great job, and I’m as proud as can be.
Excellent! Wayvto go dad and Leo! Think of the innovations he's going to invent or discover!
Ah, so this is what the elves look like. Mini Bens with hair.
Maybe there’s a name change in the near future....”Wilborn and Son Guitars”?
Kids. My 9 year old helped me deliver a breech calf🙂
What a clever idea!
So great !!
His expression tells me "he's got this"!
The most I remember accomplishing at "little hand" stage was getting a mangled piece of metal out of the garbage disposal. Go Leo!
Wilborn & Son Guitars....
He’s a natural! Luthier/Fly fisherman
Those tiny, useful fingers.
What was up with the brace?
Hawking my meager wares at the CBA bluegrass festival in Grass Valley, CA.
Wow... didn't know this was going on .
Lets see how good I can do...left to right, warhorse, Elliebelle, a cutaway Lion, a non-cutaway lion and a Bantom?
Hey say Hey to Bruce for me, I know he is there too. You guys can talk about what a great guy I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Molly Tuttle should get one of your guitars in her blessedly talented hands and play the livin' heck out of it!
Great event. Good luck, Ben.
A table of riches...Sweet Lion! Specs?
The non cut away Lion is the one that grabbed me. Cedar? Redwood?
I was born in Lovely Grass Valley 😊
Knock em dead and come home empty handed!!!
I’ll take that meager bantam on the right
Man oh man. I wish.
Have a great show!
That full body Lion and the one on the far left would look much better sitting in my house. ;)
