OO

I am a big fan of little guitars and was incredibly excited to develop my own take on a OO. While larger body shapes have their merits, I just love sitting back and relaxing with a smaller guitar. With a balance and note clarity you expect from a OO, this little guitar is a fingerpicker's dream. Don't let the smaller size fool you though -- OO's have some real power behind them!

CONCERT

The Concert model was the first shape I developed on my own as a luthier. I wanted a mid-sized guitar with flowing lines and graceful transitions that would sit comfortably in the player's hands. The result has been overwhelmingly successful! The Concert model can be a powerful instrument with a surprising presence for its medium size while maintaining a clarity and balance more typical of a smaller guitar.

F-HOLE

F-holes are typically found on carved top instruments -- violins, mandolins, and, of course, archtop guitars.  In this case, I've adapted my bracing and construction to utilize f-holes on a flat-top (similar to my other models).  The original idea for these guitars was born out of a deep love for the music of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and an attempt to squish his old archtop and her flat-top into one.  I'm beyond pleased with how these sound -- the throatiness and cut of an archtop with the sustain and body of a flat-top in a totally unique instrument!  

Typically I've used my OO model when building with f-holes, but any of my shapes can be adapted for some f-hole loveliness!

GRAND CONCERT

This is the newest shape I have to offer and is the biggest powerhouse of the bunch. With more elegant curves than a dreadnought and subtler lines than a jumbo, this is my largest model with a big sound just begging to be flatpicked or played with some full-bodied fingerstyle.

TENOR

In the evolution of the modern guitar, tenors were introduced in the 1920's as the missing link between the banjo and guitar. They provided banjo players with a feel they were accustomed to but with the voice of a guitar. With four strings typically tuned in fifths (similar to instruments in the violin family) and a shorter scale length, a tenor guitar is a fantastic way to expand your sonic palette, inspire new musical ideas and is simply a joy to play!  I have also begun to offer a 6-string version of this model in standard tuning -- you will be blown away at the volume and richness in such a small bodied instrument!
