This model is a grand concert size guitar geared toward percussive fingerstylists, and features our exclusive tongue drums built into the sides. On the bass side of the guitar, the drums go from the waist into the upper bout, on the treble side they are located in the lower bout. Magnets allow the drums to be tuned.
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.
