here is 'Water'- $2500 (one of the Elements, water, fire, and earth) - she's a Woodfaceâ„¢ electric 10 1/2" biscuit bridge resonator guitar.
a roundneck. black walnut top, ash body w/walnut trim, maple and walnut neck with carbon fiber rods. all of the woods except the rosewood fingerboard were harvested, cut, seasoned and hand picked for this instrument by Martin Maudal of Maudal Musical Machines, http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/maudal-musical-machines/x/5896400
she has proprietary passive electronics with a mic and mag pup. *passive* so that the pup will interact with your amp the way the gods intended! no batteries or preamp needed. volume, standard tone, low end rolloff, and a mic cutout switch in case you just have to rawk really freakin loud.
and here is 'Fire' - $2500 - a 9 1/2" biscuit bridge electric resonator. also a roundneck. the black walnut top is a match to 'Water'. she has an alder body with alder and walnut neck. carbon fiber rods in the neck as well. she also has the M3 proprietary electronic setup.
enjoy!

| Beautiful stuff, Martin. I went to school in Claremont years ago and first played bottleneck slide in the Folk Music Center (what a fantastic place...and the Chases were such great people). I'm VERY intrigued. Going to go check out the film... |

| thanks Geoff! I taught drums to Ralph (the film maker) waaaay back when he was 10. he just showed up one day and wanted to film someone "making stuff with his hands". He blew me away with this little minidoc! |

Damn ! Those are good looking instruments. Maybe someday (right after I win the lotto) one of them will become mine.
And I like your philosophy about building them too. |

thanks again guys for your comments. feels good when people like what you do.
I want to invite you all to visit my indiegogo campaign. There's a video that takes you through some of the process, and also alot about my philosophy in building these guitars. Plus, my friend Tom Murray plays the bejeebus out of a couple of them!
The purpose of the campaign is to help me take the business to the next level and *build more guitars*. I sell guitars so that I can build more of them ;~)
If you like what I do, and think that this is a worthy hare-brained scheme, this is another (and perhaps more affordable) way to help me keep it going:
