Model E

Big Sound. Small Body. Zero Compromise.

WHAT IT IS

The Model E is a custom-built, small-bodied steel-string guitar. It’s based on the Model D shape but scaled down to Martin O-size for better comfort and control. Despite its size, it delivers full-spectrum warmth and clarity.  The kind usually reserved for much larger instruments. The 25.4″ scale adds just the right tension, making it a go-to for alternate tunings and expressive playing.

WHY YOU NEED IT

You want rich low-end and balance, but without the size of a jumbo or dreadnought.
You play long sessions, seated or standing, and need something ergonomic that still delivers power.
You work in dropped tunings and need a small body that holds tension and clarity.

WHAT YOU GET

A handcrafted Model E-SS built to your spec.
Dreadnought-like tone in a compact, responsive body.
25.4″ scale for better string tension and tuning stability.
Fully customisable tonewood choices and voicing.
Options shaped by player feedback and real-world testing.
A lifetime warranty.
