Models:

Jubilee: The Jubilee model is everything you’d ever want from a dreadnought sized guitar. Lots of top and bottom, character, warmth and volume. A neck you can get your hand around and jumbo frets so you can dig in when you need to.

Selah: The Selah model is an exhilarating example of what an Orchestra model can be. An upper bout measuring 12” across is responsible for a complex array of overtones that’s going to tickle your inner ear like nothing else. Jumbo frets and ebony fittings make this the choice of any finger-style player.

1962 (Jumbo): The "1962" Jumbo model will be a treat for the eyes and the ears. With a 13" upper bout and 17" lower bout, this guitar is deep and full-bodied both visually and sonically. The short scale makes it easy on the hands, and makes stretched chords a breeze!

Top: Engelmann Spruce, Sitka Spruce, Western Red Cedar.

Back & Sides: East Indian Rosewood, Flamed Bigleaf Maple, Mugavu, Mahogany.
