Great Article on New Orleans Guitars

Designed for those that love the throaty voice of a semihollow body, but still want the reliability of a neck through design. This very elegant model sports a 14" body that is carved top and back with matching pickguard, heel cap, knobs, and fretboard. Same basic neck construction as the Voodoo custom but cored out between the fretboard and the bridge. Two beams are left to support the top and back as well as a solid portion under the bridge and tailpiece. The 3/r" thick tops and backs are carved down to 1/4" thickness with graceful tapers into the recurves. There is a slight loss of sustain, but this design produces a very lively and responsive instrument that is very hard to put down. This is a great choice for a player looking for a very touch sensitive instrument with enhanced mid response in a lightweight and elegant package.

This is the MOST INCREDIBLE TOP I HAVE SEEN ! Look at the way the Flame Fades into the Spalted Burl Top ! The top is KILLER, the weight perfect, the neck to die for, and tone well we all know now how these things sound incredible. It is just a privledge to look at let alone play! The top, the tone, the carved knobs, the inlay, binding, the neck its just a true work of art. Plug it in and it can only described as a piano. EVERY note has clarity you just dont hear guitars like this. This is an instrument ! One of the really nice aspects of this model is the carved back. Not only does it reduce the overall weight of the guitar but it also presents the fretboard in a very ergonomic position and forces the guitar to hang at the correct location between the shoulders. Nice for long gigs ! 5 piece neck through design is by far the most straight foward and stable way to build a guitar but involves a lot of hand joinery. This alone is the reason that few manufactures use this type of design, but well worth the effort ! New Orleans bind the fretboards and headstocks in quartersawn hardwoods. This is considerably reduces the absobption of fretboard materials producing a more stable playing surface. The hardwood binding is also far less suseptable to the normal shrinkage associated with plastic bindings. The tops are carved from 3/4" thick stock that is chosen for its figure and density. The extra thick top plays a major role in producing an instrument that has a very individual tonal character.
