I designed this modern fingerstyle guitar to meet the demands of the contemporary player. It has a comfortable, inviting contour and produces a beautifully even response across the entire fingerboard.
This guitar also supports integrated tongue drums for the percussive acoustic guitarist, and can be built with traditional parallel frets or in a variety of multi-scale configurations for those that employ open tunings.
I work with my customers to create an instrument that works the way they need it to so they can freely express themselves musically. Nut width, string spacing, action height, neck profile and thickness are all components of the user interface that need to be right so the musician feels most comfortable when playing. The styles of music you play influence the overall sound that we will aim for. The aesthetics impact how you feel when you pick up your instrument. All of these elements come together to form your truly custom and unique guitar.
Some typical specifications of this instrument are as follows, although every aspect can be customized:
- 20″ body length
