Here is where you can see guitars that are currently in the construction stage. I have five guitars in progress.

An SJ, this guitar promises to be an exceptional sounding instrument. It already has amazing resonance.
Could it be the Master grade Adirondack top? Or is it the combination of that and the amazingly figured
Nicaraguan Cocobolo back and sides? Whatever the reason, it also sports red abalone heart in the rosette and
around the perimeter of this lightly bear-clawed top. It has ebony bindings, and Black/White purflings
on the sides and back. This guitar will be fitted with an ebony bridge and fretboard, and the headstock will have a
matching piece of Cocobolo, taken from the same piece of wood as the back.
Price: $4,565.00

This is the only Dreadnaught guitar I have in the works at the moment, and it is going to be a very special guitar.
The Master grade Sitka Spruce top is a stunning example of the species. The sound of this soundbox promises
to have that amazing thundering boominess of the best dreadnaughts. It is bound with Flamed Maple bindings
and has Black/White purfling on the back and sides. This is a stunning looking instrument. It has a
Paua Heart Abalone center ring in the rosette. The beautiful ziricote doesn't stop with the back and sides,
It will also have a ziricote headplate, bridge, and fretboard. The headstock and fretboard will be bound with flamed maple.

Black Acacia is a wonderful tonewood, similar in appearance to it's cousin Koa, but lighter in color, and is thought to be
an even better tonewood. This OM seems like it will have a classic OM sound, perfect for fingerstyle or folk style music.
It has cocobolo bindings, and a Paua Abalone center ring in the rosette.
Price is $4,015.00.
