All of these models are available with maple or zebrawood (horsus africana stipetica) backs and sides, sitka spruce soundboards, cocobolo fingerboards and bridges and maple necks.  However, many other woods are available such as east indian rosewood and california walnut backs and sides, adirondack spruce for soundboards and ebony for finger boards and bridges.  Stop by my shop to compare the sound of the various woods and we can discuss your ideas.

Dreadnaught
My version of the old favorite features a 25.4" string length and traditional X bracing. A big guitar with a sound to match, well suited for playing out or playing out back.

Orchestra Model
The design for this model started more like a Martin 000. I kept the 24.9" string length, but enlarged and changed the body somewhat. This is a guitar with a punchy sound that will carry through. Many fingerstyle players prefer this guitar.

Parlor Guitar
This is one of my personal favorites. It has a 24.5" string length and the neck joins the body at the twelth fret. I use silk and steel strings on this model which gives it an old time sound and feel
