"I am now building doubletop guitars exclusively. This guitar can be ordered with doubletop in any combination (Cedar/Cedar, Spruce/Spruce, Cedar/Spruce, Spruce/ Cedar), slightly radiused and elevated fingerboard, double action adjustable trussrod, and soundport. Standard scale is 650 mm, 640 or 660 mm available. The one pictured below (#20) was sold at the GFA Convention in San Francisco. It has a Cedar/Cedar top, Indian Rosewood sides and back, curly Maple bindings. A custom case from Ameritage keeps it safe. Current price with Indian Rosewood is $5300.00. Other woods are available, call or e-mail for a quote and pictures."
