Guitars

Every guitar is made entirely by hand, using the highest grade woods available. Each rosette is handmade and unique, and all instruments are finished with the French polish technique. The focus is on the craftsmanship in every detail, with a concentration on achieving a full sound and well-balanced range of tones.

Commissioned guitars are built to meet individual needs and preferences, with customized options that include scale length, fretboard width, neck dimensions, and tuners. I will  be happy to work with you to find the right combination of woods to tailor the sound to your tastes and offer ideas as to what will create the look, sound, and feel best suited to your playing style.

All guitars come with a standard hard-shell case. A non-refundable deposit is required for commissioned instruments, with the balance due on delivery. Certain wood and tuner choices may add to the final price.
