Custom String Instruments

Oneonta, NY

PRICE LIST

The guitars featured on this website are examples of the kind of instruments that I custom build. I am currently working on three new models besides the Esprit and the Custom. The Napoli is more violin inspired in styling with chamfered "f"holes and ebony binding on the fingerboard. The Electric Jazz model is similar to my carved guitars but has laminated top and back plates and a mounted humbucker. The Tribute and the Gypsy, are Customs with bracing and "f" hole changes that make them respond in a more open fashion. The Gypsy is carved to a flatter "belly".

All guitars feature:

Laminated maple & walnut necks, curly maple sides, Schaller Gold(Black on Napoli) w/Ebony button tuners, and come with hard shell cases and with the exception of the Electric Jazz, all have hand carved tops and backs and a floating pickup w/volume control on the pickguard..
