Photo Galleries

I've chosen these particular instruments as being representative of the style of instruments that I build. Select an instrument to open up a picture gallery. There are some more photo galleries here , but I don't post photos of everything that I do, it's too time consuming.

Academy Guitars

The Academy guitar is my own take on the traditional OM style of guitar. Similar in size, but with more curves. There's several guitars in this gallery, with some different tonewood options.

Parlour Guitar

European Spruce Top, Sapele back and sides with a slotted headstock. I like parlour guitars. A lot.

Archtop Guitar

Handcarved European Spruce top, hand carved Flame Maple back / sides. 3 piece laminated maple neck with contrast striping. Floating humbucker pickup. Mmm, nice.

Octave Mandolins

l love the symmetry of this model. There are two instruments in the gallery - one in Cedar with a slotted headstock and one in Spruce with a traditional mandolin headstock. Both have Sapele back and sides.

Nylon String Archtop Guitar

Handcarved European Spruce top, hand carved Rosewood back / sides. 3 piece laminated mahogany  neck, flamenco style tuning pegs.

12 String Auditorium Guitar

A 12 string Auditorium Guitar in Figured Myrtle and Sitka Spruce.

Auditorium Guitars

The Auditorium guitar has a larger body size compared to the Academy model. A couple of models in here with different tonewoods.

Guitars with a Cutaway

Academy and Auditorium Guitars with a couple of options for a cutaway in the body.

There are some rosette designs here and some inlay work here.

 

Once upon a time I also made electric guitars. Not any more, but here's an example for completeness.
