Cricket Ghost
This guitar design was initially inspired by insect body shapes. The idea that a cricket can make so much sound from such a small body has always intrigued me. The body shape has an organic quality and provides player comfort.
The ghost idea originated from my experience at the Montreal Guitar Festival. A player kept coming back to my table and claimed one of my guitars was "haunting" him. I took that as a compliment and set myself a challenge to build a guitar that will "haunt" a player. The egg-shaped sound hole also reminded me of a ghost mouth so that's why I call it a "ghost hole".
This guitar's light construction likely contributes to its bright and clear responsiveness. Its tonal balance and separation make it suitable for finger-style playing as well as the blues.
