MMy lattice guitars are inspired by the Australian school of thought, weighing approximately under 3
kilograms. The defining feature of these guitars is the extremely thin top, reinforced by a lattice
frame made of balsa wood and coated with carbon fibre. These instruments produce a modern
sound, exceptionally loud but balanced at every part of the fretboard. They are powerful and
sensitive even to the lightest touch with a rich tone that retains the warmth and beauty of a classical
guitar. They are the ideal choice for chamber music and have been loved by many soloists who would
normally opt for a laƫce guitar. With this model, I have aimed to achieve a more mellow, natural
tone, while staying true to the Australian philosophy and retaining the unique character of laƫce
guitars, which has attracted many performers since their inception.
