MOTIF

The original idea for the Motif was to make a fingerstyle archtop guitar - an instrument on which the most cerebral musician can feel at home.  Mahogany is used for the back, rim, and neck, along with an Italian alpine spruce soundboard.  Solid linings and violin-style purfling, all hot hide glue construction - a very sensitive guitar, responsive to the lightest touch, or even breath.
