Carl Hallman

Twenty-year GAL member Carl Hallman has been into guitars for as long as he can remember. His parents could only afford to give him a plastic uke, but he got a paper route and bought an electric guitar and amp from the Spiegel catalog. He formed a band called the Sonix with other kids, and was soon doing repairs at the local music store. He has retired from his day job as an electrical engineer and is now making acoustic guitars.

▪ Author Carl Hallman likes to develop methods and jigs that let the various operations involved in making a fine guitar repeatable and accurate. This one is an evolution of an idea used for making bolt-on necks for solidbodies, adapted for an acoustic guitar neck with a full heel and angled peghead.
