The Chelsea

This is a small, comfortable playing guitar made in the concept of Martins' older O and OO models. Built with 13 frets to the body, and upper bout soundport, and vintage appointments. The soundport opens up the tone and volume to the player, as well as the audience. The Chelsea has a balanced tone with exceptional highs and lows for a small guitar. This makes a great fingerstyle player or to just sit around the house and play.

The Vintage NL

This model is based on a 1929 Gibson Nick Lucas Special that I had the priviledge to do repair work on. It is very close to the Chelsea in body shape, but differs in depth by being over 4 1/2" deep along most of the body. A smaller soundhole makes for a greater midrange than normal. The NL is perfect for oldtime, folk, and blues music.
