Introductory Price: $3500

The base price gets you a high quality hand built instrument without breaking the bank. These are beautiful instruments but feature standard decoration for a classic look. Most of the options offered further below improve playability, comfort and aesthetics — with the possible exception of upgraded tonewoods or double sides.

The base price includes the following standard features:

  • Choice of body (Dreadnought, Jumbo, OM/000, 00, 0),

  • Choice of scale length and string spacing (nut and saddle),

  • AA red spruce soundboard or AAA sitka spruce soundboard,

  • Cherry, maple, walnut, mahogany or East Indian rosewood back and sides (other species available),

  • Cherry, maple, walnut or mahogany neck,

  • Individually voiced soundboard and bracing,

  • Hot hide glue (bracing, bridge, fingerboard, top-rim),

  • Bolt on neck,

  • Shellac or varnish finish,

  • Gotoh or similar tuning machines,

  • Double action truss rod with hidden access,

  • Bone nut and saddle,

  • Standard (3 or 4 ply) binding and purfling and decorative headplate,

  • Basic hardshell case,

  • D’addario (EJ-16) strings or similar.

There are too many options to list. Please inquire if there is something you are curious about or if you have a special request:

  • Local wood (I have limited sets of local red spruce as well as walnut and cherry back and sides),

  • Exotic woods or upgraded soundboard,

  • French polish,

  • Custom inlay or upgraded decoration,

  • Cutaway,

  • Soundport,

  • Double (or triple sides),

  • Manzer wedge.

Warranty: Lifetime warranty to the original owner. Warranty does not cover misuse, abuse or neglect. Extreme heat and humidity changes can damage instruments.

In general I am willing to perform minor repairs for a very modest fee.
