Made my first trip to the Butterfly House and Aquarium yesterday. What a cool place! . . #hifromsouthdakota #siouxfalls #butterflies
I’ve used smooth linings on my ukes from day one but have only recently been using them on guitars. I love how rigid a rib structure it makes. It also happens to look pretty slick and likely (though I’m not aware of any actual research) has a positive effect on the sound of the instrument.
Had the bust out the ol’ Cleveland Steamer today to do a neck reset on a beautiful old Gibson.
@turnpiketroubadours were rockin’ last night! Thanks for coming to #siouxfalls!
I loved working on this guitar, 0000 beautiful koa body with Manzer wedge, multi scale, cantilevered fingerboard and side sound port. Super fun build! . . #jrieck #siouxfalls #handmade #guitar #guitarmaker #luthier #koa #koaguitar #custom #bespoke

As a full time luthier and part time musician, my life completely revolves around music and musical instruments. This candid pic from my last photo shoot really sums it all up. #luthier #music #musician #guitar #guitarmaker #jrieck #livingthedream #siouxfalls #hifromsouthdakota

Refret in a vintage Strat today. I’ve never seen frets the low, he first pic doesn’t really do it justice but they’re just gone. #jrieck #luthier #lutherie #fender #stratocaster #refret #guitar #guitarrepair

Always a pleasure to get to play at the Orpheum and I’m completely honored to get I share the stage with Rich Show and one of the finest groups of musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing! We’re here to celebrate the release of Rich’s new record on @differentfolkrecords 🍻
