The RappahannockThe Rappahannock River is a mid-sized river in Virginia and my home town stream. The Rappahannock Guitar is mid-sized (about the size of an 000) and an excellent compromise between ergonomics and sound. I used a Rappahannock in my gigs--the sound and size fit me just right. All of these have a big voice and a full tone. They have a 24.9 scale length allowing the top to be lightly braced providing easy fingering and the loudest notes possible. |

147 - Back and sides of Osage
Orange. Engelmann Spruce top. Black Walnut
neck. Macassar Ebony Fingerboard. EIR bridge, binding and
headplate. EVO frets. 1 3/4" nut. It's loud. It sounds good. It's easy to play. $3350 |
"Black, Black" 146 - Back, sides, fingerboard, bridge - Black Locust. Neck and trim - Black Walnut Alaska Sitka top. EVO frets. 1 13/16" nut. All North American woods. This is one of the named art series. It has a strong, balanced voice and, like all of my guitars, is easy to play. The Black Locust has a pretty grain pattern and a good sound. Black Locust is hard to obtain in pieces large enough to make a two-piece guitar back. I have enough to make one more guitar. There won't be many of these. $2850 |
"Korina, Korina" 163- Back, sides, neck, rosette - Black Limba. Top - Alaska Sitka. Fingerboard - Macassar Ebony, Bridge, bindings, and peghead veneer - East Indian Rosewood Another in the named art series (look up "Korina"). Black Limba is a light wood with strong markings and some big, hard to fill pores. This is a very responsive guitar. $2950 |
