From the Albrecht Company website:

"In June 1908, Josef Albrecht founds the company. Starting in a small precision mechanical work shop a triumphal procession began which has changed the metal processing in the area of drilling and milling. In 1917 already, the still young company moves to its first production site. Esslingen, Stuttgart. There, drill chucks are being produced which gained worldwide recognition And in 1932 the world’s first keyless self-tightening drill chuck was invented here."

The prototype (Frankenstein) guitar project.

For the most part from one Vermont red maple board, including the neck. The original board milled roughly .800 inch thick, was chopped up in a Vermont barn by me and shipped to California. A good amount is still stacked there, all with the figure, all from the same tree. Three layers for the neck, glued, the orientation an attempt at creating 1/4 sawn cuts.
