Steel String

I build steel string guitars in many different sizes. Using the familiar Martin classifications, they range from the small O-sized body to the very large Dreadnaughts and Jumbos. Beyond body width and depth, the most important feature to most players is whether the neck has 12 or 14 frets clear of the body. Guitars with 12 fret necks tend to have a slightly warmer tone because the bridge is more centered in the vibrating area of the soundboard.
