Custom Instruments

Classical guitars

Inspired by the works of the old Spanish masters Torres and Santos Hernandez. My classical guitars are lightly constructed from traditional tone-woods, with a Spanish heel neck joint, fan-braced soundboard, hand crafted rosette and a french polish finish. The guitars pictured here are a new model with a larger body based on a 1930 Santos Hernandez. This model features dual sound ports and a modified fan bracing system, which delivers a full rich tone and a powerful voice.

Steel string guitars

I build steel string guitars in several body sizes​ Please contact me for model information. There are many other options. most designs can be built with a cutaway if needed. All my guitars are individually crafted, every guitar is a unique instrument. I use the best quality materials available to me, and carefully construct, thickness and graduate each part of the guitar. My goal is to build resonant and responsive musical instruments with great tone, depth and clarity.

I have made a wide variety of instruments from the mandolin "family". Pictured here are a carved top mandolin, various mandola's, an octave mandolin and a guitar bodied mandocello. I also build flat-top mandolins, and Irish bouzouki's/octave mandolins that feature a larger teardrop body with a guitar style pin bridge. All of these instruments are available for custom order,with many different options available. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
