The
thumbnail images below show examples of the many different styles of guitars
I make. These include large and small steel
strings, classical and flamenco, Maccaferri style jazz guitars and Weisenborn
lap steel
type instruments. While I usually have one or two instruments in stock, the
guitars are normally custom made for particular musicians after a process
of consultation.

My
instruments are hand crafted from seasoned solid wood. Rosewood, mahogany,
cypress, ebony, and spruces from Europe and North America are among materials
available. Instrument bindings, purflings, headstock inlays and rosettes are
of wood, shell and bone. The guitars are finished in either satin lacquer or
hand polished gloss lacquer, depending on the player's preference. Pickguards
can be clear plastic unless otherwise specified and all steel string guitars
are fitted with an adjustable truss rod.
