 MODELS

        My base price for a guitar is $5500.00. I currently have  three body sizes and several bracing styles.  My base model guitar comes standard with either a master grade Engelmann spruce or Western Red cedar top and select Indian rosewood for the back and sides.  Necks are ebony reinforced mahogany or Spanish cedar topped with an ebony fingerboard.  The standard scale length is 650mm although other scale lengths are available as well.  Neck widths are normally 52mm at the nut and 62mm at the 12th fret but any width or neck dimension can be customized.

              The standard size body measures 14.5" across the lower bout with the length at 19.25". Generally the body depth is 4.00" at the tail and 3.75" at the heel. The shape is of my design and is  elegantly proportioned with subtle curves and a substantial feel.

              The smaller body measures 14.25" across the lower bout and is 18.875" long. This shape is proportioned differently than the standard as it is wider at the upper bout and is more squared in appearance. This one is very comfortable. You can really feel like you are part of the guitar.

        All instruments are fully French polished to a high luster from my own shellac varnish recipe.
