I built this pair of Model R cutaway guitars using my outstanding Kentucky Brazilian Rosewood paired with sets of very old German Spruce tops which already sport a vintage look. These instruments sound incredible and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to make them. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
Wishing everyone the world over the very best in these trying times!! Thank you to all the care givers and essential workers, words cannot express my gratitude! Another German Maple and German Spruce guitar! 2 in a row and 1 more coming for Lionel Loueke! This guitar has such a warm rich tone and plays like butter. Really fun!!

Model R Brazilian/German This is one of my favorite guitars ever, the clean simple Brazilian and lovely German is what I love!! The sound isinsane, smooth, bold, balanced and easy to play, I wish it were mine!!
Loud voice, amazing clarity, note separation, bright tone as well as warmth. I really love it!!
They are full and balanced while enjoying the small body size. This instrument is easy to play loud and satisfying, and the woods are beautiful. If you already have a Model R you may want to think about adding a OO, HA HA!!
