G002 – Mahogany Slope Shoulder
This guitar was modeled after a 1957 Gibson J-45 with a couple of twists and my own brace tuning. It resulted in a powerful guitar with a strong sound and a well balanced tone. The classic curves of the slope shoulder body shape paired with excellent tone woods bring together a perfect blend of tone and style.

G001 – Walnut Parlor Guitar
This Walnut parlor guitar was mostly built in the Circle Strings shop under the guidance of my friend and fellow Vermont luthier, Adam Buchwald. I was working part time for Adam helping him implement the use of a CNC into his building process. The guitar features an inlay designed by the recipient of the guitar which was built for her as a gift and commissioned by an old friend of mine. The small size of the parlor guitar is not to be underestimated as it has a large presence and very focused but sweet sound, especially when fingerpicked.
