These Guitars have developed through many years of study and refinement. During a phase of vintage Martin repairs I assessed the weaknesses and strengths of these fine instruments, eventually incorporating the results into my own Guitars. They are embodied with an almost classical tonal quality and great sustain. My own preference is for the 12-fret body join 000 Style, the longer body and low bridge placement give tremendous warmth and sustain to this type of guitar.

Many of my customers use these Guitars in open tuning fingerstyle fashion which suits their character, and wide neck profile.
A wide range of timber and inlay choice is available and individuals may specify neck dimensions. Baritone Guitar, Style OM, Terz and Cutaway Instruments are also available, short and long scale, with pickups if required.
