Guitar Crafting Technique and Philosophy
My guitars are designed and built in the Torres/Frederich style with an emphasis on tonal quality and the constant pursuit of a brighter sound. I strive to create an instrument that will project well with sufficient volume for the performer.
The guitars are constructed to be as light as possible, using European or Engelmann spruce tops. Backs and sides are made with East Indian Rosewood, Cocobolo, European Maple or Mahogany.
Artists have their choice of a natural wood rosette or mosaic rosette. All guitar necks are custom shaped with a Spanish-heel and are finished with a French Polish.
