Occasionally I have one or two guitars available and am presently offering the following:

Asymmetric Fan 2004       SINCE SOLD

The neck is of dark spanish cedar, carbon fiber reinforced and an ebony fretboard.  Tuners are Gotoh Premium (Rogers style). Construction features include an elevated fretboard with spanish heel architecture and asymetric fan bracing. Performance characteristics include powerful volume with excellent projection.
