Choose Your Inlay
Designs & patterns made with various types of shell

Our standard inlays include mother of pearl logo wings, the logo G is matched to the abalone shell rosette inlay, with slotted mother of pearl diamonds as fretboard markers. Choose from the following options for a different accent, all of our shell is naturally reflective from certain angles. These options are arranged by their popularity.

Customize Your Neck Width

The initial neck width of the majority of our guitars is 1.75" at the nut with a 2.250" string spacing at the saddle. This width is best for almost all players and it is highly recommended unless you have firsthand experience to guide your choice. If you know that you have an especially small or large hand, you may want to narrow or widen your fretboard width for improved playability.

The exceptions to this rule are our Crossover model, and Parlor 12-Fret Slotted option which are both initially at 1.875", our 12-String option which is at 1.9375", and our Classical model with it's 2" width.

Customize Your Neck Details

All of our instruments initially have a slippery satin finish with the exception of our gloss-buffed Classical neck. Choose a gloss-buffed neck for a more grippy feel under your hand, or for cosmetic appeal.

The initial back of the neck is best described as a very slight "V" shape. We recommend handling our neck before deciding on an alteration, but we do offer custom neck shapes upon request. You may decide that you want more of a "C" shape, which we can accommodate.

Customize Tuning Machines

Choosing different combinations of tuner buttons and knobs allows you to get the look just the way that you want it. The initial tuners on our Traditional Series guitars are the nickel plated Waverly open-gear machines with ebony buttons.

Customize Setup Appearance
Upgrade cosmetic appointments

All of our steel string guitars have a bone nut and saddle. We offer Fossilized Walrus Ivory upgrades for the standard bone, as well as optional inlaid bridge pins and end-pin. This rare fossilized bone provides unique aesthetics with similar acoustic qualities . We source our walrus ivory responsibly from fossil excavations in Alaska.

You may also find a peghead veneer matched to your back and sides tonewood appealing.
