Neck Woods

Necks are made of Spanish Cedar or Mahogany. Classical scale lengths 644, 650 and 660 are available.

Specially Selected

Great cuts of wood are essential to making great guitars. I resaw much of the woods used.

This way, I can select the best for my guitars. All the woods used are carefully selected and dried for years.

Woods that are Right for You

If you have any questions about wood selection, or special needs for a guitar, please e-mail me. My goal is to make guitars that players want and need. Or if you would prefer, I can choose the woods for you! That way it is easier on you.
