Here is a selection of my instruments.
I
don`t make"stock" models, or production runs;
each instrument is unique, built to satisfy my abiding fascination
with the performance of different combinations of tonewoods.
I often have instruments in stock, built to my own specifications,
but I particularly enjoy the challenge of designing and
building an instrument to commission - one that will both
reflect and enhance the musical style, technique and personality
of it's owner, and, like it's owner, improve with age.
In
common with an increasing number of luthiers, I am always
on the lookout for viable, sustainable alternatives to the
traditional exotic hardwoods like ebony, rosewood and mahogany,
and have had particularly good results building with walnut,
cherry and other fruitwoods.
Where an instrument listed is
still available, I'll include a price, otherwise, new guitars
start around £1100, depending on inlay work, cutaways,
electronics, etc. Less for mandolins and bouzoukis.
Occasionally a used, or ex-demo
model becomes available, and will be priced accordingly.
In some cases I've shamelessly included a customer's comments
about a particular guitar.
If
you have your own dream guitar in mind, do get in touch
- I'd be happy to talk it over with you.Please
e-mail with any questions you might have.
