Jim's fan braced double top guitars are creating a buzz matched only by his lattice brace solid top guitars. Ever the restless creative spirit Jim has developed quite an interest in building incredible double top guitars. Inspired by a Dammann that he acquired from me, Jim embarked on his own double top journey, combining his years of experience as a world class builder with his innovative nature, to create his own version of the fan braced double top guitar. These guitars received RAVE reviews at a recent guitar festival in Australia, where some of the world's best artists had the chance to play his guitars first hand. Very similar in spirit and feel to a fine Dammann, but definitely possessing Jim's own personality, wonderful double tops with rich warm tones and abundant volume. I am highly confident that these double tops will inspire praise from even the most critical ear.

Jim uses his incredible stock of beautifully figured Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides which are light and resonant so that you feel the vibrations while you play. The neck is slightly elevated for ease of playing and Jim's neck carve is among the best out there. Creamy rich basses and full round singing trebles are augmented by a warm and varied tonal palette to produce a highly refined and beautiful personality. Highly inspiring and ultimately convincing guitars. Another supreme offering from one of the world's best builders.
