The Guitar shown is made using a combination of Spruce belly Maple sides/neck and East Indian Rosewood back, with parallel bracing. The fingerboard is East Indian Rosewood inlayed with Irish Sycamore. Guitars cost £2500*. Gold plated machine heads, Mother of Pearl dot inlays (fret markers), and Herringbone purfling are standard, Other purflings and bindings can also be chosen.

Chris has used a lot of his violin making skills in the design and construction of this instrument, choosing some less conventional approaches in the sound hole shape, bracing layout, and the thickness of various components, So the guitar has a character very much of its own. Players who have tried the instrument have commented on its rich and well balanced sound.

Chris makes Guitars to order, he is more than happy to take into account the customers cosmetic desires, such as or alternative inlay materials, these alterations may be subject to an agreed increase in price.
