The York
The York is about the size and shape of a classical guitar. These guitars are much louder than you would expect from a small-bodied instrument. Unless otherwise specified, these have a 24.9" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width. The body is 19 1/8" long and 14 1/2" wide at the lower bout. I like playing these guitars. They are responsive, easy to play, and the size is easy on my shoulders. This model sells quickly.| The York |

| 143- "Fruit and Nuts" - Mulberry back and sides, Osage Orange
fingerboard and bridge, Black Walnut neck and trim, Persimmon
pins. Engelmann Spruce top. All North American woods. Mulberry is a relative of Osage Orange, one of my favorite sounding woods for back and sides. I was eager to hear how it sounds. The first sounds from this guitar were astonishing. A light pluck makes a big sound. I am very pleased with this guitar. 1 13/16" nut $2950 On display at The House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park, MD. |

- All North American Woods: Engelmann top, Osage Orang back,
sides, fingerboard, and bridge, Cherry neck. Sycamore trim, Alaska
Sitka spruce bracing, persimmon pins, spalted Poplar rosette. I built this one for myself. It has a wide neck (for my big hands), high frets for easy bar chords, and will support only extra light strings. It is tremendously loud and has a very nice tone. I can build one like it for you, but this one is mine. Come try it out and see if you want one. |
