I am currently offering two models:

Drednought
this size guitar has been the standard for over 60 years. I have shifted the bracing pattern forward in a similar fashion as the prewar Dred's which loosens the top and allows for a more balanced mid and high end without sacrificing the bass nor the volume. What results is a much more balanced sounding guitar that responds to the complex needs of the modern player. For you Bluegrass players out there, this is the banjo killer.

Auditorium
This guitar is slightly smaller than the Drednought with a tighter waist that allows for more comfort while playing. This guitar has a remarkably balanced sound that is as responsive to a light touch as it is a heavy attack. This guitar was created expressly for the virtuoso players who require their guitars be versatile with a complex sound.

All guitars are available in a variety of woods. Standard features are wooden bindings and hand made purflings with mitered end grafts. Abalone inlaid rosette and fret markers are also standard. Neck width, nut spacing and bridge spacing are to order. Standard neck shape is asymmetric to allow for more comfort and ability to reach difficult positions.

Both models are available as either a double bout or with a Venetian cutaway.

Base price for each is $3200.00
