Steel string acoustic. Hollowbody electric.

build

Steel string acoustic. Hollowbody electric.

Acoustic →

Two steel string acoustic models are available. The "Rogue" is an orchestra-sized body with a 15.25" lower bout. A new jumbo model dubbed the "Kalliope" will soon to be available with a 16" lower bout.

Hollowbody →

The "Mousa" is an offset waist, double cutaway body and is my only hollowbody available at the moment (more designs coming soon). This platform offers both fully-hollow and semi-hollow designs, both with a bent rim assembly (as opposed to chambering).
