Guitar Model Descriptions

I have four guitar models to choose from. They range from the smaller 00 sized Concerto, to the Grande, which is my largest model. Finding the middle ground are the Orchestral and Lyric models, which share the same body size, but have differing fret board configurations. All of the models can be uniquely customized to satisfy your playing style and aesthetic taste. They are voiced to maximize the number of harmonic peaks in the sound spectrum which adds color, interest and complexity to the sound of the guitar. They all have a fine balance of treble and bass tones, clear separation between notes with strong fundamentals and balanced overtones.

Please see the ORDERING page to find out how we can start designing your custom guitar.

Concerto

This is my smallest sized guitar, similar to a Martin 00. Don’t let my smallest size fool you though, It has great projection for such a small instrument and sits nicely in your hands.

Β 
Orchestral

This is a medium-bodied guitar in the same style as Martin’s iconic OM model. Ideally suited for finger style players, but flat pickers will also enjoy it greatly.
