Concert Standard in Honduran Rosewood with venetian cutaway and Laskin Armrest plus side sound port with optional removable cover.
This custom order has some special features and upgrades:
A baritone model with Madagascar Rosewood back & sides, Lucky Strike Western Red Cedar top, finished with Ziricote bindings, Venetian Cutaway, Laskin Rib-Rest and Arm Bevel & Side Sound Port.
OM stands for Orchestra Model which was originally designed by the C.F. Martin & Company in 1930.
This modern spinoff is based on the same OM body dimensions and shape but with a some custom order requests.
Ziricote back and sides with matching headstock overlays and sinker Red Cedar top. Grit Laskin Rib-Rest and top Bevel, side sound port, and Alessi custom tuners.
This is a L-00 Model that was built for singer/songwriter, Ariana Gillis.
It features a Torrefied Sitka spruce top that was finished ivory.
The back & sides are highly figured Koa with Bloodwood binding. The headstock overlay is Ivoroid with a black pearl Beneteau script inlay.
This Nick Lucas model in Honduran Rosewood, with Adirondack spruce top, Snakewood bindings and matching Waverly gold tuners and Snakewood buttons. Neck joins at 13th fret giving credence to 1930's Gibson Nick Lucas design.
Introducing my vintage style 00 12 F. Though not meant to be an exact copy, it is heavily inspired by the beautiful Martin guitars of the 1930s. Retro style ivoroid bindings are used and the construction is light and responsive. An optional feature of this particular instrument is the choice of Torrified Spruce for the top and braces as well as the use of liquid hide glue for most of the assembly process.
A shout out is in order to Joe Yanuziello, master guitar maker and good friend, for is guidance in negotiating the unique world of ivoroid bindings. Thanks Joe!

'M' Model
The best way to describe my "M" model is to say that it is the same shape as my 0M but enlarged to a full 16" width giving it an expanded bass response. Like the Mini Jumbo and Concert Standard, this model offers another choice in a full sized guitar suitable for fingerstyle playing or full strumming. I'm also offering the "M" as an alternate Baritone choice for those players who find the 17" Jumbo body a bit too large.

Waist: 9 11/16" (24.7 cm)
Lower Bout: 16" (40.7cm)
Body Depth: 4 1/8" (10.5cm), 4 1/2" (11/4cm)
Mini Jumbo
This guitar will appeal to those who love the bold, rounded look of the Jumbo but want it in a standard full sized instrument. Like the Concert Standard, this model is a good choice if you need a guitar that does everything well.

Dreadnought
I have built several dreadnought guitars over the years and only until now do have some decent photos to offer. The Dreadnought model originally came into demand beginning in the 1930s as a result of the growing popularity of bluegrass, country and folk music, which required a large-bodied guitar with a full, resonant sound.
Dimensions
Upper Bout: 11 3/8" (28.9 cm)
Waist: 10 5/8" (27 cm)
Lower Bout: 15 5/8' (39.7 cm)
Body Depth: 4 1/4" (10.8 cm) or 4 5/8" (11.8 cm)
Concert Standard 12 fret
Not only am I introducing a new model this time around but this particular instrument also has a number of new design details as well. The idea for this model came from a customer who wanted a 12 fret guitar but larger than my 000 12. As it turned out, my Concert Standard, modified to 12 frets, was a perfect choice. It retains the comfort of the C/S size while increasing the tonal depth and resonance associated with the longer 12 fret body.
Dimensions
Upper Bout: 11 1/2" (29cm)
Waist: 9 7/8" (25cm)
Lower Bout: 15 7/8" (40.3cm)
Body Depth: 4 1/8" (10.5cm) or 4 1/2" (11.5cm)
Overall Length: 21 1/16" (53.5cm)
Concert Standard
I've been building and developing this model since the late 1970s and it continues to be one of my most popular guitars. Genuinely versatile, it is equally responsive to fingerpicking or strumming.
Dimensions
Upper Bout: 11 1/4" (28.5cm)
Waist: 9 3/4" (24.8cm)
Lower Bout: 15 7/8" (40.3cm)
Body Depth: 4 1/8" (10.5cm) or 4 1/2" (11.5cm)
Orchestra Model (OM)
This is arguably the ultimate fingerstyle guitar with strong clear mids and highs. The 15" (38 cm)body is compact and comfortable yet large enough to give a broad tonal response. 14 frets to the body.
Dimensions
Upper Bout: 11 1/4" (28.5cm)
Waist: 9 1/4" (23.5cm)
Lower Bout: 15" (38cm)
Body Depth: 4 1/8" (10.5cm)
'000' 12 Fret
Commonly referred to as the "Triple 0".
A versatile and popular model with excellent mids and highs.. The neck and body meet at the 12 fret moving the bridge back into the sweet spot creating a slightly warmer tone than 14 fret models.
Dimensions
Upper Bout: 10 7/8" (27.6cm)
Waist: 9" (22.8cm)
Lower Bout: 15" (38cm)
Body Depth: 4 1/8" (10.5cm)
'00' 12 Fret
Dimensionally, the 00 is approximately the same dimensions as a classical guitar. The compact size makes it a very comfortable instrument to play while still providing surprising tone and volume.

Waist: 8 5/16" (21.1cm)

Nick Lucas
The guitar was developed in collaboration between the Gibson Guitar Company and Nick Lucas, a popular singer and guitarist of the 1920s and 1930s. This guitar is based on the Gibson L-00 size yet provides excellent volume and tone. Of particular interest is the unique "13 frets to the body" neck/body location.
Dimensions
Upper Bout: 9 7/8" (25cm)
Waist: 8 3/8" (21.3cm)
Lower Bout: 14 7/8" (37.8cm)
