CLASSICAL GUITAR

As with all my instruments, my classical guitars are entirely hand made; this even includes details such as the mosaic rosettes which contain over two thousand separate pieces of wood.

My classical guitars are built using the traditional system of seven fans struts and a 650mm scale length. My aim is to produce a beautifully crafted instrument with an even response across and up and down the fingerboard.

I use either spruce or cedar sound boards according to the client's taste and offer a French polish or natural oil finish. I prefer to use Indian rosewood for the back and sides, its tonal qualities and structural stability are second to none. Other tonewoods such as Brazilian rosewood and African Blackwood wood are also available.

Details such purflings, choice of tuners, width of fingerboard, action etc will be discussed with you to ensure complete satisfaction.
