The bevel edge on the front and the back was inspired by two guitar makers of fine repute, Grit Laskin and Kevin Ryan. When I first saw the bevel edge on Grit Laskin's guitar I had to try it for myself. This is the cutting edge of guitar design.

Whilst on a wood buying trip in 2004 I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with my good friend Kevin Ryan in his studio, on his bench he had a similar bevel edge to the one pictured above, and being the gracious and giving person that he is, he shared with me the steps necessary to achieve these bevel edges.

On completion of this guitar I realised that a bevel edge front and back has to be and in my judgement is the ultimate comfort guitar, especially for older players, who often get numbness in the arms and fingers.

To date, all the players who have played this instrument are wishing to move their old guitars on and acquire this new shape. It totally takes out the stress that one experiences on one's forearm and legs when playing for any extended period.

All our guitars are now made this way.
