The Proto-types
This is the page dedicated to the original guitars that started it all, as well as more current ideas and experiments.

Enjoy! :)
The Fem Fatale, 2008
The first guitar that I ever made. The genisis one could say.
It was an exploration in form, function, and my abilities to transform wood into reality.
The Courtesan, 2009
This was my fourth guitar, and one designed and built completely on the fly.
This leaad to the opertunities to let the guitar design itself, so to speak, as I could take advantage of the form as it was coming into being.
Enchanteresse, 2009
My final guitar of 2009, and the sixth proto-type made.
It was the realization of a form I saw when making the M.I.5, and allowed me to push the boundries of my inlay work.
Maitresse, 2008
This was my second guitar made, started shortly after the Fem Fatale was complete. It was a further exploration of the fem Fatale form, yet is unique unto itself.
Maitre-chanteur, 2009
My first neck through design, and a continuation of the original Fem Fatale design. As my fifth guitar made I desided to push my limits in build and see how radical I could go.
M.I.5, 2009
My first bass, and the third guitar I made.
It is actually the original reason I wanted to make my own guitar, as the 5 string bass I had at the time did not have the tone I desired.
It was just that all the guitar bits showed up first.
Extortionist, 2010
The seventh proto-type, and a further refinment of the original Maitre-Chanteur design.
Chanteur, 2010
The eigth proto-type, and my first acoustic archtop.
