In February of 2008 I completed construction of my 100th Guitar. 2008 also marks my 10th year as a full time guitarmaker.

I built this special Bristlecone to commemorate these two events.

For more information and pictures of this guitar, click here.



 

 

This is a new Bristlecone that I built for the Healdsburg Guitar festival. It is ziricote with an Engelmann Spruce top. 25.5" scale, 1 3/4" nut. It has a slight "Manzer Wedge" body for comfort.

This is a wonderful fingerstyle guitar with a clear, warm tone.


 

 

 

This archtop was designed to bring together the best of both the archtop and the flattop tone. It combines the clarity and projection of an archtop with the sensitivity and warmth of a flattop guitar.

This is a great guitar for acoustic Jazz.

The woods are European spruce with curly Big Leaf Maple back and sides. The bindings and tuner knobs are snakewood. Other appointments are black ebony and 24 K gold. It is brand new !!


Luthiers Collection has a very nice 2006 Tamarack in straight grained Brazilian and Carpathian spruce. It has a Manzer Wedge body for comfort.

 

 

 

 

This is a new, 2006, Sugar Pine. It features straight grained Brazilian rosewood back and sides and a Carpathian spruce top.

The 25" scale and 1 25/32' nut width make this a very easy guitar to play.

The tone is clear with a strong bass and thick trebles.. All in all, a great fingerstyle guitar.

This guitar is available through Fine Acoustics in Maryland.
