Acoustic Range
Tonewoods
I am able to source and supply a huge range of tonewoods to suit any taste in sound or appearance, as well as budget. I am also able to give expert advice on wood choice.
Some examples:
- Indian Rosewood
- Maple/Sycamore
- Mahogany
- Oregon Myrtle
- Sitka/European/Lutz spruce
- Cedar
Designs
I am able to build guitars in any of the classic styles from Martin, Gibson and others - with or without Dark Matter’s own twists or modifications. I am also currently working on my own original designs and as these progress this section will be expanded.
Special options
While I am strongly influenced by classic and traditional techniques and designs, I am not afraid to introduce more modern and radical ideas into my instruments.
Some examples:
- Baritone and extended-scale instruments
- Fanned frets
- 7 strings, 8 strings …
