Each Steel String Guitar I make has some common features but really... every instrument is different – the result of a process where each client and I talk (a lot) about choices of wood, scale length, inlay and other details until we come up with a personalized one-of-a-kind guitar. All my guitars come with a CALTON, custom-fitted fiberglass case.
The SMALL version is almost as small as a standard classical guitar and works best with a 12 fret neck. The MID-SIZE version is almost as big as a dreadnought in the widthsof the upper and lower bouts but not as deep (and with more rounded lines). The SEMI-JUMBO version is the same depth as the mid-size but larger in the other dimensions. The lower bout is 16 5/8 inches deep and very rounded. SCALE LENGTH: 650 mm (25.6 inches) or 640 mm (25.2 inches)	All Steel String Guitars have ebony bridge,fingerboard and body binding, a neck of tropical American mahogany, and a nut and saddle of bone. For the rest of the guitar... here are some of the more popular choices: Soundboard: Sitka Spruce (or... Western Red Cedar or Engelmann Spruce) Back and Sides: East Indian Rosewood (or... Brazilian Rosewood, Curly Koa, Curly Maple or Ziricote) Fingerboard binding: ebony (or ivoroid, etc.) Machine Heads: Schaller, chrome or gold finish (with buttons in variety of styles: ebony, mother of pearl, mammoth ivory, crank winders)	I create custom engraved inlay by request. All designs are original and no design is ever repeated. For many examples visit the INLAY GALLERY. • "Armrest" bevel on lower bout • "Ribrest" bevel on upper back edge • Single cutaway • Fingerboard extensions • 12 string • 7, 8 and 10 string models • Edging and / or soundhold mosaic bordered in various types of shell or stone Other available models: Acoustic Bass, in 4,5 or 6 string models, Baritone, details upon request.
