Guitars

Combining new ideas with age-old techniques, my guitars combine playability with a depth of tone available only in fine handbuilt instruments. Tops, backs, and sides are carefully selected and graduated to enhance their natural attributes. Every piece of wood, from the neck to the smallest brace, is acoustically matched to coax the highest performance from each instrument.

Handmade all-wood rosettes and bindings, mitered purflings, and a lustrous finish ensure that each instrument looks and feels as good as it sounds.

All models are constructed with ebony fingerboards and bridges, adjustable mahogany necks, bone nuts and saddles, and Schaller tuning machines. Custom instrument clients should discuss the tone effects of wood choices.
