I am currently working on two "non-commissioned" guitars which will feature a few new aesthetic touches. The wood combinations are Engelmann Spruce / Macassar Ebony and Sinker Redwood / Ziricote. These instruments are non-cutaways and are the last guitars to be offered under my old $4,200 base price. They will be priced right around $6,000 with the various options and wood upgrades. Both guitars are currently available.
***Please note, I've spoken to several customers regarding these two guitars but have not received any definite confirmation. If the above applies to you, please do not assume one of these guitars is on hold for you and contact me to put the instrument on reserve.

Over the past year, my waiting list has grown significantly. As a result, I am closing my waiting list but will reopen it in a few years (2014 or thereabout) when the backlog is more manageable. Please note that I will be providing Luthier's Collection with a few instruments each year. In addition, I have also planned to build several "non-commissioned" instruments over the next few years and will offer them through this website.

I completed a redesign of my OM guitar model -- now referred to as a Modern OM. The redesign was primarily cosmetic but I also noticeably altered the overall voicing of my instruments to emphasize more clarity, note separation, and focus.
