The Model S15 is similar in size to the Martin OM, but with a more organic shape. Tonal balance defines this guitar with pronounced clarity and surprising volume. It is ideally suited for fingerpicking, but with the proper soundboard can easily function as a flatpicking guitar.
The Model S16 is my version of the small jumbo and fills the needs of those who want a bigger sound, a more pronounced bass and increased dynamic headroom, along with my signature clarity and sustain. This is an all around guitar equally suited for fingerpicking and flatpicking.
