Building an instrument that stands out among others demands quality materials and an attention to detail that is often overlooked. All selected tone-woods are thoroughly dried and stabilized over a period of time, even if originally kiln dried at source. After timbers have acclimatised in the workshop, often for over a year, they are ready to work. This process of careful selection, drying and acclimatisation helps to produce guitars with long term stability, resonance and responsiveness and ultimately the creation of instruments of enduring value.
