Features

Both nylon-string and steel-string models share the same 12 fret to the body design with a 16.25" lower bout.

The soundboard may be made from cedar or spruce and uses a lattice-braced construction of balsa and carbon fiber tow set in epoxy. This lightweight structure is designed to maximize responsiveness and efficiency while maintaining the stiffness required for projection and clarity.

In the steel-string model, this approach allows the instrument to achieve a highly responsive voice with much lighter strings than are typically used on traditional carved-top archtops.

The back and sides use wood/epoxy composite laminations with figured maple outer veneers for structural stability, projection and consistency of tone.

Both models feature my carbon fiber reinforced modular neck system, incorporating a two-way adjustable truss rod and a neck pitch adjustment thumbwheel. This allows the player to make precise action adjustments without tools.

Tailpieces are handcrafted from rosewood. Tuning machines are premium Gotoh 510 series or similar.

Body finishes include traditional nitrocellulose lacquer or a satin oil varnish. Necks are typically finished with Tru-Oil for a smooth, fast feel and simplified long term maintenance.
