The pictures below link to portfolios of several of my guitars. Please check back often as I include new portfolios and update pictures.
This is a Model S14 with Malaysian blackwood back and sides and an Italian spruce soundboard. This guitar has a nuanced yet powerful sound with lots of dynamic range for a small bodied guitar. It is appointed with camphor burl wood, flamed maple binding and a classic multiline purfling scheme.



This is a Model S16C with curly Sapele back and sides, matching Sapele laminated neck and an Italian spruce soundboard. Special features include a compound cutaway and soundport. This guitar is loud with great dynamic range, separation and headroom. It works equally well for fingerpicking and flatpicking. It is appointed with myrtle burl wood and mother of pearl accents. The bloodwood binding and black purfling lines add richness to the color palette.



This is a Model S15 with Mahogany back and sides and an Engelmann soundboard. This guitar has a nice warm sweet sound that responds well to a light fingerpicking style. It is appointed with dark English walnut and black Mother of Pearl for a nice contrast to the almost white soundboard and medium mahogany tones.



This is a Model S15 with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka spruce soundboard. This guitar has a rich resonant sound with strong harmonics and sustain. It is a great fingerpicking guitar, but has enough dynamic headroom for moderate strumming. It is appointed with beautiful birdseye maple burl wood and abalone. The flamed maple binding adds a nice contrast to the rich rosewood tones.



This is a Model S16C with Madagascar back and sides and an Engelmann soundboard. This is a cutaway version of the versatile S16 model. It has a rich, yet mellow tone owing to the combination of rosewood and Engelmann. It is very responsive with great sustain and responds best to a lighter touch. Subtle contrasts are what this guitar is about with Cocobolo appointments throughout, including the fret markers.



This is a Model S16 with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka “bearclaw” soundboard. This guitar is powerful and resonant while possessing a somewhat warmer quality than is typical for Sitka. This guitar will satisfy fingerpickers and flatpickers alike. The beautiful “bearclaw” soundboard is nicely framed with ebony binding and the Amboyna burl wood adds a touch of class.
