Pictured is a custom built guitar based upon the classic Martin OM style. It was built by Roger Skipper who says this of himself on his website (http://www.skipperstrings.com/):

I’m a one-man band: my instruments are built by me, by hand. No CNC routers or production machines are found in my shop, and no assistants or apprentices free me from the mundane tasks of sanding and binding. My instruments aren’t sent out for finishing, and I don’t purchase machined parts to save time. My fingers feel for a hand tool as often as they do a power switch, and my eye often serves my sensibilities better than a ruler. I reverence tradition, but it's not my god....

Design or Plan used: My own design - Skipper Strings
