My standard model is built with a European spruce top or a Western red cedar top with Indian rosewood for back and sides. Some other woods I work with include maple and Brazilian rosewood. The neck's thickness, width and string spacing are tailored for the individual and are shaped with Honduran Mahogany and an ebony fingerboard. My standard neck has a thickness of .880"/22mm at the 1st fret and about .940"/24mm at the 9th fret. The nut measures 52mm and 64mm at the 12th fret. My standard string scale is 650mm/25.6"scale and I build varying scale lengths as well. All guitars are fitted with Sloane tuning machines with leaf bronze base plates.
