Slope “D” Dreadnought Guitar
An "old favorite"" guitar shape based on the old Gibson J-45, but sounding like a true dreadnought. The instrument shown has an Engelmann spruce top and braces, East Indian Rosewood back & sides, Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard & bridge, traditional back strip and Herringbone trim. Other top woods include Adirondack Red Spruce and Sitka Spruce. Back/side woods
include all the true Rosewoods (dalbergia) and Mahogany. Other woods available by agreement.

Parlor Guitar
A favorite size in the late 1800's and early 1900's, now coming back into popularity as a travel guitar. Available woods are the same as for the slope “D” guitar. A picture of the prototype will be available soon.

  

“The Duck” Mandolin
The shape of this instrument was inspired by the “Duck” mandolin built by the late John Duffey of the original Country Gentlemen. The points on Duffey's "Duck" were a little larger and more extreme than ours. I have not seen a record of anyone building this style of asymmetrical two-point shape recently; it provides more mass than a standard A5 model and sounds like an F5 model. The instrument shown is European spruce and European Maple with an Ebony fingerboard, Allen Monteleone style tailpiece, and Randy Wood Vintage style bridge. Available back/side woods include American and European Maples; top woods include European Spruce, Red Spruce and Sitka Spruce.
