Boulder
Creek Guitars was born from an idea that was developed over 15 years
ago by Mike Shellhammer. Mike, having spent his life in the music
industry as a musician, store owner and product developer felt that
there was a better way to brace a guitar than what was considered
standard.
Mike’s idea
was based on the theory that, if he was able to develop a suspended
bracing system that would support the string tension of an acoustic
instrument while leaving the soundboard intact, and moving the sound
hole to the side of the guitar, it should sound better and create better
tone and sustain. This idea was the birth of Boulder Creek Guitars.
Through
trial and error- testing of prototypes and materials, the idea and the
realization came together. Aluminum rods became the key component, as
they provided the needed strength.
“The
aluminum rods transmit the strings vibration and energy throughout the
body of the instrument creating a tone balance and sustain that have
made Boulder Creek Acoustic instruments the award winning instruments
that they are today” said Shellhammer.
The benefit
to the musician is that Boulder Creek has developed an incredible
sounding instrument that does not experience the same feedback issues
associated with the “standard” acoustic guitar. Players and sound
engineers alike rave
about Boulder Creek instruments on stage because they are trouble free
and do what they are supposed to do! Add to that a completely cool and
different look, and you have an instrument that grabs the attention of
any audience.
Boulder
Creek’s patented SBS bracing system has re-written the books on acoustic
instruments. The unique style, affordability and performance have taken
a very young company to the forefront of the guitar world. Come in and
see what has developed from the idea that Mike Shellhammer brought to
life. Come see what you’ve been missing!
