My design for this guitar was influrnced by the style of American guitars from the first half of the 20th century - The golden age of Jazz and Blues. It's a small bodied instrument, though with a scale length of 640mm only slightly shorter than most modern guitars (around 650mm).

It has a highly unique sound, quite raw but very soulful, in most part due to the design - thé floating bridge (as found on jazz guitars) the unusual placement of the soundholes (which allow a greater part of the soundboard to respond) and the innovative lattice bracing pattern used. Also adding to the soulful character of the sound is the fact that most of the wood used is recycled, or reborn - the back and sides are made from quarter sawn mahogany recovered from a 100 year old cupboard. The internal struts of the soundboard are excellent spruce salvaged from a 150 year old grand piano.

This guitar is fitted with a twin internal transducer pickup which gives an authentic reproduction of the sound when amplified.
