Testimonial:
“The first thing I noticed about Glenn’s guitars is that they all have a unique and natural beauty, then as you play you can feel how smooth and easy they are to play, and how full and even the sound is, I’m very impressed with the overall quality and craftsmanship.”
Glenn makes sure he finds out exactly what sort of guitar his customer wants and from the start of the guitar building process he carefully selects the timbers to suit, right down to beautiful exotic timbers used to make decorative inlays and rosettes.
Glenn is also a musician of 35 years and gives consideration to such things as the overall weight of the guitar. Glenn’s aim is to make the guitar as light as possible while retaining all of its strength, beauty, feel and natural tone. These are important things to consider before choosing who will build your guitar! If you are going to invest your hard earned money in buying an instrument such as a beautifully handcrafted custom made guitar, you want to be sure it’s going to be everything you anticipated and more. Glenn explains the important distinction between custom and handmade guitars here.

Testimonial:
“The flexibility of my southern belle amazes me. The first time I played it I could tell immediately that this guitar was better than anything I was using. I can literally play better with it. Producers and studio engineers regularly comment on how good the Southern Belle sounds too. It sounds and feels the way an acoustic guitar should sound and feel – great.”
