New OS Website Is Up!

After weeks of of work, the new Old Standard website is up and available for viewing at www.adirondackspruce.com. We're still working through a few kinks, but please check it out and let us know what you think. We've added tons of new pictures and info, so it's already light years ahead of our previous "dinosaur" website. More to come soon...

OS Update

Finally checking back in with the blog. Things have been busy here at Old Standard as we have been working our way through our latest batch of Adirondack logs, so needless to say, my computer time has been limited. Also, a quick piece of news, coming soon in the near future....a new OS website! We're hoping to begin working on it in the next week or so, so please keep in touch with the blog for more info on that. It will still be at www.adirondackspruce.com. That's all for now...more to come soon.

Curly Maple Sample

We were milling through some maple recently to fill some orders and stumbled upon this archtop guitar set. The minute we planed it, we knew we were onto something special, so we grabbed a camera and snapped a shot of it. Keep in mind that this is straight off the planer, no varnish or finish at all...really spectacular curl.

Martin Guitar Wood Summit

Last month, John and I headed up to Nazareth, PA for the 2nd CF Martin Wood Summit. It was good to reconnect with some of our fellow wood vendors, and we even snuck off for a bit to check out the Martin museum. Definitely an impressive collection, and we were happy to see that Adirondack Spruce was well represented. Here's a couple pics from the day, including one of our fearless leader next to Martin's millionth guitar.

Collings Inventory Pics.

Thought everyone would be interested to see a few pictures from our current inventory of custom Collings guitars. These things are really something; we hand select just a handful of Adirondack soundboards out of the thousands we produce each year and match them with a premium set of Honduran Rosewood. It's a really satisfying thing for us to be able to sit down and play these great guitars with tops that we worked up straight out of the log. As always, you can check out our website for more info. Enjoy!
