My instruments are based on the Torres/Hauser tradition in design, and are tailored to the individual. Aesthetics are important to me and are also addressed individually. My basic model has either a spruce (European or Engelmann) or cedar top; East Indian rosewood, cocobolo, European maple, or mahogany back and sides; Spanish cedar or Honduras mahogany neck; ebony fingerboard; Brazilian rosewood bridge; and a mosaic or natural wood rosette. String scales are usually 65 cm, 65.5 cm, or 66 cm; string spacings are 43 mm at the nut and 57 mm at the saddle, although other scales and spacings can be accommodated. Necks are Spanish heel construction and are shaped according to the customer’s preference. All instruments are French polished.  Refer to the "Policy" page for other options and prices.
