Ergonomic Features

We offer our own version of luthier Linda Manzer's wedge shaped body. This design greatly relieves the stress on the shoulder of your strumming arm. $200

Our rollover armrest, inspired by Grit Laskin's bevel, adds comfort and visual elegance to the lower bout of the guitar. Same wood as the binding (maple, koa or ebony). $400

Full ergonomic package combines the wedge and the rollover. $550
