This guitar was built in 2024 as a private commission. Upon completion, the client was unable to make the payment and withdrew from the order. Now I offer it for sale.

The trebles are warm and clear, the basses are rich. It is a loud and powerful guitar and has loads of overtones. It has been played a fair bit, but it has lots of room to open up and develop. The floating armrest allows for more comfort on your right arm while preventing it from damping the vibration of the top.

There is also the option to upgrade the machine heads to my custom Rodgers for an added price.

This could be a great opportunity to get one of my cedar top guitars without having to wait on my 5 year wait list.

This guitar was built in 2023 as a workshop guitar. I built this so whenever I have visitors in the workshop, they are able to try an example of the 19th century inspired model I offer. I never intended to sell this guitar, but some unexpected circumstances has required me to offer it for sale. It is a beautiful little guitar, with the most stunning set of cocobolo I have ever seen. I will miss it very much.

The trebles are bright and clear, the basses are rich. Despite being so much smaller than a standard guitar, it has plenty of volume, power, and loads of overtones. It has been played a fair bit, but it has lots of room to open up and develop. The size and scale length of this guitar makes it very comfortable to hold and play, and could be an excellent option for someone with a smaller stature or hands or just for someone who wants to add a new colour of sound to their collection.

The guitar is essentially brand new, but has been in the workshop for over a year and played a fair bit. There are no playing marks, but the polish does not have the 'brand new' luster anymore and some of the polish has sunken into the grain of the Cocobolo. This has all been reflected in the price, but if you would like a refresh of the polish, please inquire. There is also the option to upgrade the machine heads to my customs Rodgers for an added price.
