StreamLine 16 (gloss lacquer)

The StreamLine model has been the inspiration for my non-custom approach to making guitars. The StreamLine is a standardized instrument. It is hand-made in my one-man Seattle shop using the same materials and designs found on my more expensive guitars. By keeping the ornamentation to a minimum, I can offer it at a lower price reletive to my custom models. I use solid woods for the top and back, like every other model. I happen to really like this model: it has a very straightforward design that I like to think of as a simple elegance. And, at $6200, you’d be hard pressed to find a better bang for your buck.
