We love collaborating with our builders on custom builds—this latest 2019 Kodiak from C.F. Holcomb knocks it out the park. After our last Kodiak sold (the one with The Tree: https://www.dreamguitars.com/shop/brand-new-c-f-holcomb-kodiak-the-tree-mahogany-k16025.html), we immediately commissioned another one, this time in highly figured Quilted Mahogany. One-piece Cocobolo neck, Lollar P90 neck pickup, single cone resonator with antique bronze cover and tailpiece. Played in Open G or D, this Holcomb is an absolute joy. Putting it through its paces in Standard for some flatpicked fiddle tunes? A blast. The setup is slinky and quick, and that pairs nicely with the sweet, enveloping voice. This Kodiak weighs only a little over six pounds, pretty light by resonator standards, and that translates to a instrument that’s easy to keep cruising on for extended periods of time.
Here’s an additional demo with our own Paul Heumiller: https://youtu.be/93Uc_yUiI0M.

This was a custom build for one of our lucky clients. He had missed out on another like it so we simply recreated it. Quilted mahogany with a spider cone setup for powerful midrange, this guitar just sings. It is perfect for both fingerstyle and slide play and offers a unique voice that will work perfect for solo arrangements or in a band. 
I love Mahogany for its lively and crunchy response, which adds a punchiness to this Kodiak reso build from C.F. Holcomb. | Scale Length | 25.625 in |
