Combining his skills acquired over more than 40 years, as a woodworker, finisher, luthier, and working musician, Robert "Cue" Gerhards is known throughout the industry for his expertise, integrity and passion for achieving uncompromising quality. As the head of a leading custom shop for over 14 years, Cue pioneered many of the exotic and artistic color combinations, techniques and finishes that did not previously exist and are widely replicated today.I've been a musician and loved guitars for as long as I can remember.
Featured are just a few of our handcrafted custom shop creations currently available. We offer several of our own models as well as classic body styles. With virtually unlimited custom options available - exotic and figured woods, custom inlays, custom finishes and graphics, vintage distressing, hardware, electronics and more, the possibilities are endless.
Whether it's a solo or band gig, Ceilidh is a performing artist's dream. This handcrafted acoustic guitar is based on the beloved 00 Style Martin. Ceilidh primarily uses woods native to the Great Northern Catskills of NY, but is available in a variety of options. Ceilidh features a side port for crystal clarity to the player and the 'G' rosette offset holes adds a more balanced projection of the bass to treble strings. Although it is X-braced in the classic tradition, it utilizes slightly less top bracing.
The handcrafted Soloflight is a true hollow body built for comfort and speed. Soloflight delivers a combination of airy, classic hollow body tones and rich, earthy solid body tones due to the wood mass of the sculpted hood scoop design. The top is joined to the body under the bridge and under the neck.
