totem/resintop             straddling the line between art and

                                      utility, my instruments embrace both

                                      aspects fully.  although visual and

                                      sculptural elements play an obvious

                                      role, the basic approach common to

                                      these guitars as musical instruments

                                      is playability, tone and reliability.

hybrids                          we’ve categorized the wide variety of

                                      designs based on their main

                                      structural approach into several

                                      sections.  click on the appropriate

                                      link to learn more about each

                                      category and to view examples of the

                                      instruments.
