Kevin Chubbuck has been on the scene for a number of years now after working with both the Santa Cruz Guitar Company and our own Bill Tippin. This Rogue model was originally built for our shop in 2009, and now it’s come back to find it’s next home! Indian Rosewood body with Koa appointments; Waverly tuners; “slipping” purflings at the rosette, back strip, and fingerboard. On top, a special treat: “Grey Ghost” Sitka Spruce harvested from a standing dead tree in Washington State by John Wagner. This top is full of silky medullary rays indicating it is perfectly quarter sawn and special. You can hear it also as it blends with the Rosewood body to create a clear, articulate voice. We are proud to be able not visit with this Chubbuck again—it’s opened up handsomely in the intervening years, and it’s ready for more action.

I’ve known Kevin Chubbuck since his time working with Bill Tippin years ago. He also has a history at Santa Cruz guitars so he knows his craft. This particular guitar has a great voice with the strings balancing sweetly, making it wonderful for chordal accompaniment and it also fingerpicks very well. 
This is one of those guitars that proves that a good luthier can build a great sounding guitar from Indian and Sitka. It sounds as good as many Brazilian Rosewood guitars I've heard and it plays like a dream. This is only the second of these guitars I've seen and both were incredible. I think Kevin Chubbuck will be considered one of the premier luthiers out there in no time. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
