STEEL STRING GUITARS

The 'Estuary' model. My small guitar is a little unusual. It’s the same shape and size as my 1864 classical guitar, but obviously put together differently. I don’t have the Mississippi Delta nearby to inspire southern blues playing, but I do have the Thames Estuary just down the road for your English Blues. A slotted head is a nice option. Scale length 630. 14 frets to the body.

Dimensions:

• ​ Upper bout 265 mm
• ​Waist 222 mm
• ​Lower bout 354 mm
• ​Body length 477 mm​
• ​​Body depth 105 – 85 mm

The '505' model.
My large guitar - named after the length of the body. A slightly square-shouldered guitar, comparable to a Martin 0000 model.
Rounded cutaway option (venetian), not the pointy one, scale length 645 mm. 14 frets to the body.

Dimensions:

• ​​Upper bout 300 mm
• ​​Waist 255 mm
• ​​Lower bout 400 mm

The 'Southfields' model. My medium size guitar is roughly 000 size, shape similar '505' but a little smaller. Scale length 645 or 630. Venetian cutaway option. 14 frets to the body.
