And indeed each piece had its own distinctive pitch and tone. These, he said, will make terrific guitar bodies when combined in the correct proportions.
If by now you might be thinking that to be the proud owner of a Lynn Ellsworth original custom guitar you’ re going to need to take out a second mortgage, you may be very pleasantly surprised. Granted, these supreme instruments do command a higher price than those bargain“ off the shelf” models which are usually assembled overseas and use very generic materials, but Lynn’ s are highly competitive and some are even more cost-effective than many factory produced classics like the very expensive Gibson Les Paul. Best of all, Lynn’ s“ unique to you” guitars are handcrafted and lovingly born( yes, Lynn regards each of his creations as his children!) not only in America, but right here in Spokane!
It is hardly surprising then, that many discerning guitarists and bass players in our Inland Northwest music community are also very eager to own and play a Lynn
Ellsworth original themselves. Talented regional musicians who are proud owners include Cary Fly, Rick Lillemon, Steve Springer, Joe Oliver, Bobby Patterson, and Steve Livingston. As I have mentioned earlier about national and international demand, this regional list could easily go on well into next week!
On a personal note, I found Lynn and his delightful wife Diane to be not only charming and super friendly, but also incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel very much at home and most comfortable in their home. By the time I was leaving, after my interview for this article, we had become fast friends and after exchanging hugs I had already received dinner invitations from Lynn and Diane!
I’ m sure that many of you would like to find out more about Spokane-based luthier Lynn Ellsworth, along with his unsurpassed craftsmanship, and Lynn welcomes you to visit his personal Facebook page by searching“ Lynn Ellsworth Luthier Raw.”
