Cricket Ghost was compleated in April of '09' and has Sipo back and sides,
a Lutz spruce top and Indian rosewood bindings, fret board and bridge. This instrument is a light wieght and responsive guitar.
Its streight forward, no-frills construction is in contrast to its rich and bright tone.

I had the pleasure of working with Jim Henry
to build this chamber bodied electric 12 string guitar. The top is of curly Anigre and it has a laminated, through-the-body
constructed neck for best sustain and strong tone. A "0" fret was used for the neck also which
contributes to the low action and playability. |
This is a MIDI controller/acoustic. Music
generated by this instrument can be heard on the

This mid-size, 14 1/2 fret-to-body Guitar has a curly maple back and sides with
