Model: The Grand Auditorium My first completely original design. A tasteful combination of golden era design and contemporary elements provides a truly unique and timeless instrument. With its beautifully flowing curves and gracious appointments it is a true standout in any setting. And of course you get much more than just a nice looking guitar. The Grand Auditorium is a very comfortable playing and wonderful sounding instrument.

Options & pricing

The Standard Grand Auditorium model is $3500 not including any taxes or shipping. If you commission one of your own, I can alter some of the build specs like nut width, string spacing, etc to suit your style and needs, often at no extra charge. And while the standard model is a truly beautiful instrument in its own right, it also makes the perfect canvas for adornment. Whether you just want something with a bit more flair or something truly one of a kind or anywhere in between, we can help. Unique touches like custom rosettes, fancy purfulings and inlays can be more affordable than you think. Custom finishes can really add something all by themselves or can be used to help highlight purfulings and rosettes. We can also build you guitar from almost any exotic/figured wood that is legally obtainable. Electronics are not a problem either, in fact most systems can often be installed on commissioned builds for little more than the cost of the parts. Almost any desire can be accommodated, just let me know what you would like for your guitar and we can go from there.
