Construction Features It is really important that the wood is dry. If it is not, all that is required is one dry day and your valuable wooden guitar will start to crack and distort.

As a result, all wood at Carson Crickmore Guitars is selected by Phil Carson Crickmore, cut and dried by Phil and eventually hand-crafted into guitars by him. It is a long process which cannot be avoided. [Back] [Next]
