I have recently made a couple of changes to the construction of my steel string guitars: the necks are now bolted on using a system that allows the pitch of the neck , and therefore the action, to be adjusted by the turn of an allen key inside the guitar in the neck block. This is as simple as adjusting the truss rod and means that the string height at the bridge can remain at its optimum. Secondly I have started using a two- part lacquer as the standard finish. This is rather more hard-wearing than the french polish finish I was previously using (still available as an option). I currently have five steel-string models. The Pavilion is the largest and is an X-braced 'small jumbo' type; the Pavilion Baritone uses the standard Pavilion body with a 735mm scale for low tunings; the Arbour is a more compact guitar with dimensions similar to a 000 size; the Rufus is similar to the arbour, but has a lower waist; and the Parlour is small-body, slotted head design based on Martin's 00 body shape with twelve frets to the body, well suited to fingerpicking. I can fit acoustic pickup systems to the player's requirements.
