When I'm not working on a commission, I regularly build instruments to add
to the collection. If you see an instrument that is on hold or has been sold,
I can build the same model to the exact same specifications or customize to
your preferences. See the Order page for pricing and options.
The closer fret spacing of 24" - 24.5" scale instruments is ideal for smaller
hands, easily nuanced slide guitar, or faster playing along the fretboard.
The fuller 25" - 25.5" scales give a slightly fuller tone and longer sustain.
Many factors influence tone and sustain, but for see the list below for scale
size reference. My personal favorite is 25" - the 'perfect' compromise :-)
