Ask anyone who has played a Whifill guitar and the very first thing they'll tell you is how great the wood is. Light, resonant and harmonic, the man, Charles Whitfill flat out knows wood! For you nuts and bolts people, Charles also spent about a decade handcrafting mandolins and doing instrument repairs on the side, getting his chops together until he felt confident that he had something special to offer with his guitar designs. For the past few years those designs have been gaining favor with a whole bunch of pickers and gear heads, including Jack Pearson, Brent Mason, Johnny Hiland and Vince Gill. Whitfill guitars are now well respected in the guitar industry whether your a hobbyist, a local legend at the clubs, or a seasoned professional playing stadiums. Â
Raised in rural Kentucky, Charles developed an early fascination for building (and sometimes un-building) things, the latter of which introduced him to guitar construction. Now-a-days if you were to ask Charles what goes into making a fine guitar, he'd likely tell you "passion, elbow grease, patience, skill and a little luck." Those elements, combined with his superior wood sourcing abilities, proprietary pickups and top notch electronic/hardware, and most importantly, his tremendous skills, ensure that each and every build earns nothing but the highest praise.
This guitar is virtually flawless with one small exception being a missing Phillips head top part of the screw just underneath the tone knob on the pick guard (see last photo)
