Build Thread: Wilborn Guitars - Lion & EllieBelle
It's always an incredibly exciting time when we start to represent new luthiers and begin working with them. We have been speaking with Ben Wilborn for around a year now, firstly deciding on specs for guitars and then watching them come to life. We are so pleased to have our first ever two stunning Wilborn Guitars being delivered to the TNAG showroom in the very near future.
We've kept in touch with Ben throughout the build process and he's sent us some information and thoughts on the two guitars which will be coming to our showroom.
Leo Model
"This is my Lion model (named after my son Leo) It’s what I probably sell the most of. It’s 14 1/4 inches across the lower bout.














EllieBelle Model
"Here is the larger of the two guitars. This is my EllieBelle model. (Named after my daughter Ellie) It’s 15” across the lower bout, similar in size to a Martin OM, but the design is my own. This one features a curly Honduras Mahogany back and sides, Adirondack (red) Spruce top, and ziricote binding and arm bevel."
