Beacon

The Beacon is my flagship guitar model. I’ve mixed elements of traditional guitar making and classic electric guitar aesthetics to create a modern and sleek instrument full of sustain and response.

The Beacon as standard is a versatile top-bound, gilded interior semi-hollow body, set neck instrument. It’s fitted with a firebird styled pickup in the neck and traditional telecaster style pickup in the bridge to cover everything from glassy cleans to growling driven tones.

Also available as a solid body guitar.

15.5” Archtop

The 15.5” archtop guitar is my first jazz guitar where the design is inspired by the pioneers of the modern archtop guitar. I wanted to create an instrument that captures traditional aesthetics and introduces a more ergonomic approach for the modern player.

The 15.5” as standard is a hand-carved full hollow-body, set neck, jazz guitar. Its soundplate is tuned to resonate in harmony throughout. It’s fitted with a humbucker in the neck to capture the cavity resonant characteristics while retaining warmth and note definition.

Each features a hand carved floating bridge, tailpiece and pick guard featuring themes from Scottish coastal species.
