Models
I now offer three guitar models, the S14 (Grand Concert), S15 (Orchestra Model) and the S16 (Small Jumbo). All of my guitars emphasize clarity, sustain and tonal balance up and down the fingerboard and across the strings. Of particular importance to me is that my guitars possess a powerful well defined bass, a nuanced midrange and clear sweet trebles.

Special Series


I am now offering two special guitar series to meet the needs and desires of my customers.

In an effort to encourage the use of local tone woods, I am introducing the Americana Series. These guitars are built from woods that are local to North America and in many cases local to my home state of New York.

The second series I am offering is the Performer Series, which feature a combination of options to create a guitar that is highly suitable for live stage work.

Cases

Included in the price of a guitar is an Ameritage “Gold Series” case with a built in humidity control system. These are top quality cases that fit my guitars very well to offer the best possible protection. However, if you are going to be doing a lot of traveling with the guitar, you may wish to upgrade to a Calton flight case.^top
