Guitar Models

I currently offer two different models (with a third in the works) which can be modified endlessly: The TG-100 "Solo" and the TG-250 "Lady on the Beach". Options include your choice of necktypes: Setneck, Neck-Through-Body and Bolt-on. Neck shape and scale lengths are also for you to determine. But, I also build guitars without custom orders. I refer to them as 'Private Stock'. I try to note which ones are available throughout this website.

Career Defining TG-250

My whole thing is to take a great piece of wood and see how nice of a guitar I can make out of it. 14 years and almost 200 guitars later, I can "steer" a guitar's tone in ways I couldn't imagine in my first years as a builder. Through creative switching and the right set of pickups my guitars can cover all of the bases. Warm, fat, buttery, twangy, spanky, jangly, snarly... Did I forget anyone? Where's Swampy?
My semi-hollow method of construction allows for some beautiful acoustic resonance which translates well through the Seymour Duncan pickups I use - especially when in the singlecoil positions. You'll find some wonderfully familiar tones as well as wide ranges of undiscovered tones where you can run free of comparisons.

RockPlates are guitar shaped gift items that I make right alongside Till Guitars.
From the woodworking to the finish, the building processes are quite similar. I think you'll be very pleased with the look and feel of my work.
