A new double neck design for Gabe Marin

Gabe Marin of Consider the Source visited my shop over the holidays to discuss the design of his next double neck guitar, the Elsa II.  I built the Elsa I (see pic) for Gabe in 2003.  It’s been his only stage guitar for the last 13 years.  Here’s a video of Gabe putting the Elsa I through her paces at The Beachland Ballroom in 2015.
