The Carillion OCD is the smallest model i offer and is akin to a parlour guitar. It is small and delicate, so best suited to jazzy fingerstyle playing, though would happily spend its life being strummed. I brace these very delicately and try to get as much from the smaller soundbox as possible.
If left unspecified i will brace my acoustics to be good ‘all rounders’ so they still sound great being strummed or plucked in a percussive fingerstyle. Custom bracing/Sound manipulation is available – please just specify your particular playing style when ordering and i will brace the instrument around your particular needs.
There are multiple build options available including cutaways, arm bevels, sound ports, custom inlay work, slotted headstocks etc..
Lefties are available at no extra charge. Please check the acoustic order form for a full (and fairly extensive) list of available timbers.
