This page gives information on the materials, particularly the woods I
use in the construction of each part of my guitars.
Only the finest materials are used throughout.
Tops:
I use only supreme quality tonewoods.
Instruments are offered with Alpine Spruce, Sitka Spruce and
Western Red Cedar.
Necks:
Spanish Cedar or South American Mahogany
Fingerboards:
Finest quality Ebony
Backs and sides:
Indian Rosewood is the principal wood used.
A very limited amount of English Walnut is available.
Purflings and rosettes:
These are all hand-made and are to my own design.
No two rosettes are identical
Machine heads:
I fit Schallers as standard. Other machines are also available.
I construct my guitars in accordance with the traditional Spanish
methods, using a mould and with the sides fitted into slots in the heel
of the neck
The soundboard and strutting is assembled on a solera. Strutting
is basically Torres style, with occasional variations.
I normally use the standard scale length of 65cm but instruments
can be made
with longer or shorter scale lengths, to suit individual requirements.
For the guitar's finish, I use either lacquer or French polish.
With the exception of the machine heads, the strings and the fretwire,
everything is hand-made
