This is an amazing sounding instrument -- one of Danny's best! Please note, photos are not representative of the guitar currently. Guitar shows significant play wear on the treble side of the soundhole -- evidence of how much the former owner loved this guitar. Unfortunately, the 2" nut width and aging hands made this instrument a bit uncomfortable to play for him.

Handcrafted right here in Huntsville, Alabama! The Fret Shop is proud to be the exclusive retailer for these amazing instruments made just a couple of miles away. Danny Davis has twenty-five years of luthier experience, having designed and built high-quality custom Acoustic Guitars and Mandolins.  He has a thorough understanding of acoustics and mechanical systems through a degree in Mechanical Engineering and from a thirty year career with NASA developing space launch systems. Danny’s approach to designing and building instruments is based on a deep understanding of the first principles of physics and engineering.  As a NASA engineer and manager, Danny developed a first hand understanding of how structures respond to forces.  Just as spacecrafts vibrate, so do guitars.  The craft is to shape the wood so the vibration frequencies are ideal for musical note production.  This knowledge is critical to making instruments that have a balanced and lively response to the artist’s intention. His passion is building beautifully resonate guitars and mandolins.  Each instrument is created to the musician’s specifications and aesthetic desires.   He provides the highest quality craftsmanship and tonal engineering to produce an instrument that will be cherished for a lifetime.   Each instrument is adorned with his signature logo, a Mother of Pearl inlayed Bonsai Tree.  This art symbolizes the thoughtful and ingenious manipulation of nature’s gifts.
