This line of guitars is inspired by the Gibson L5
of the early to mid 1900's.
Mike makes these classic guitars with steel strings
but also has made some smaller versions with
nylon strings.
An archtop is a hand carved on both on
top and bottom
voiced by the luthier to resonante a
woody, rich tone.
Mike's personal preference is a 25" scale,
however,
the scale is the player's personal choice
The goal is to produce a guitar that is
effortless to
play
and makes a player reluctant to put it down.
Thanks to all of you who stopped by Mike's table at the April, 2008
Handmade Instrument Show at Marylhurst. Mike's new shop is just
about set up and he looks forward to a good guitar year.
Contact Mike to ask about
pricing. Currently he has one of the "twins" available, a 17"
steel string guitar.
