We offer four models of steel-string guitars,

a Classical and a Flamenco model...

 

We spend a lot of time hunting for and selecting very special tonewoods. These woods, whether exotic or domestic, are hand selected for their beauty and acoustic properties. That gives us the best start, The woods we use are in themselves a piece of art long before we come along and fashion them into a functional instrument.

 

All of our models can be ordered with nearly any materials you can think of.  Go to the  Options  and  Ordering  pages to see a few ideas to customize your guitar. We enjoy tapping into the imagination of our clients to come up with some unique ideas.

 

Walt Disney once said "If you can imagine it, you can do it..."  We really try to incorporate that thinking into our shop.

 

Osprey
 

Our largest steel-string body.

 

Our Osprey model has a powerful voice with large bass tones but well balanced with the mids and treble notes.

 

Not just another pretty face, this guitar is made for musicians who want to be moved by the feeling and tone of the instrument. Need a partner on stage, in the studio or in your home? Here's someone that will follow your lead...or maybe lead you to new heights in performance and creativity.

Baritone

 

The same shape as the Osprey, this baritone is 13 frets to the body and is 1/2" deeper in the body than the Osprey.

 

Our baritone has tremendous presence, both for the player and the audience.  The bass notes are crisp and resonant, with tremendous volume, standing out very well against other instruments.  The mids are very clean and the trebles have just the right brightness to nicely separate then from the other notes.

Kestrel

 

Our concert model, the Kestrel, is a steel-string guitar that measures 15" at lower bout, 10 3/4" at upper and 19 1/2" in length.

 

This smaller model has a sweet voice with a surprising amount of power, like the falcon from which it gets its name. We've taken note of the look on people's faces when they play this guitar. They never let us down when they smile and say something like "wow!"

Peregrine

 

Our parlor model, the Peregrine, is our smallest steel-string guitar.

 

This model has a really sweet tone and is a kick to play. We love to take these to trade shows and see how amazed people are about the power these little guys have.

Flamenco

 

Our flamenco guitar has a feather-

light touch and a powerhouse sound. A flamenco guitar needs to be as exciting to play as the music is to the listeners.

 

We use the finest Spanish cedar for the neck stock. We also inlay carbon graphite bars under the fingerboard. Besides stiffening the neck with this stronger-than-steel for its weight material, any dead spots in the fingerboard are eliminated.
