Model D

The dreadnought, redesigned from the ground up.

WHAT IT IS

The Model D is a custom-built steel-string guitar based on the same outline as the Model S, but with a broader waist that gives it that familiar dreadnought warmth without the muddiness. It’s all the low-end body and punch you expect, with the clarity that leaves most D-style guitars behind.

WHY YOU NEED IT

You want projection without sacrificing tone.
You need a guitar that cuts in a mix but still feels nuanced when played solo.
The Model D gives you the power and bottom end of a dreadnought, with the balance of something more refined.

The D-SS version is the one to reach for whether you’re fingerpicking or flatpicking. This isn’t a CF Martin clone. It’s something new. Voiced for detail, built for performance.

WHAT YOU GET

A custom Model D-SS tailored to your playing style.
Warmth and projection with real clarity.
Premium tonewoods and expert voicing.
A lifetime warranty.

WHY IT’S WORTH IT

Every instrument is built by me – no production runs, no shortcuts. Each design has been refined through years of feedback from professional players who rely on their instruments night after night.

You’re not just buying materials and labour; you’re buying the sound, playability, and longevity that come from over three decades of experience.
