Featured below are the two primary models I build, all influenced by vintage parlor guitars from the turn of the last century but larger and modified to accommodate steel strings. This combination of parlor guitar approach with an advanced x-brace design produces a instrument that is unique tonally in its resonance and projection, as well as visually. The use of the traditional methods of hide glue for all joints and french polished shellac as a finish allows my guitars to resonate to an unusual degree, and firmly establishes their relationship to vintage predecessors.
