The Companion

"We'll be together Again"
  MP3

This guitar was made to be my centerpiece at the Montreal Jazz Festival July 6th through 9th, 2006, where I exhibited my work along with a number of other luthiers.

This is the 4th "0" sized guitar I have made, and like the others it features longer string length than Martin Guitars ever used on this model. Unlike the other 3, this one is asymmetrically fretted, and uses my successful hybrid of standard Martin scales, being 25.4 on the low "e", and 24.9 on the high "e". Other than the asymmetry and the wood choices, the guitar cleaves very close to the American Tradition. The back and sides are quartersawn and highly figured Sapelle, an African Mahogany want-to-be which is actually quite wonderful in it's own right(write), the top in Italian Spruce, the fingerboard and head plate are Ziricote, the binding is Snakewood over flamed Maple purflings, and the bridge is also Snakewood and is a traditional pyramid though slightly skewed as it must be in this case.

Several people you may know have played this guitar, so ask around for their opinion of it. I want $8150.
