The model shown to the right is the Marie-Christine (a tribute to my lovely and so patient wife). This being said, I definitely did not reinvent the wheel in designing that guitar since, as many of you may have guessed, it's my own interpretation of the well-known Martin 000-size.
With its 15" lower bout and 25.4" scale, it's the ideal finger picking guita and as such, a favorite of Eric C, Paul Simon, and many others. The mid range and highs are well defined, and the lows not too boomy, which yields an optimum instrument for studio work. For some obscure reasons though, I've always felt that this guitar was lending itself well to elaborate inlay work. Hence the pearls...As on all of my guitars, the finish is NC lacquer.
As you may notice, the one shown to the right is a leftie. You can hear her singing in the attached audio clips. Pics of a "right" version of the same model are also shown the next pages.
