All Prism models are steel-string guitars
that are custom voiced, one-by-one, to maximize the clarity, evenness of response, and open responsivity. Special attention
is given to optimizing these characteristics for every soundboard, regardless of the wood type. Although some models are better
suited to specific styles of music, each guitar will be built with the individual player’s goals, playing styles and
particular musical needs in mind.
Discussions will take place before the build process begins to decide on the
eventual purpose of the instrument, be it for bluegrass, jazz, fingerstyle, blues, or for general purpose. In other words,
all models can be manipulated by wood choice and voicing to enhance the frequency of response, overall projection and directionality
for specific applications, or voiced for more multi-purpose use. Models are all right-handed, but may be ordered left handed
if desired.
DREADNAUGHT
The
Prism Dreadnought (D) is a favorite for performers, singers, strummers, and bluegrass, but is also a good all-around instrument.
It is a guitar designed to be heard above the din. This model is characterized with emphasis on the lower end frequencies,
but with plenty of presence in mids and highs.
CONCERT JUMBO
The
Prism Concert Jumbo (CJ) model is probably the most flexible model overall. This is a guitar with significant character and
volume, with excellent balance across all frequencies. Many prefer the Concert Jumbo because it is easy to hold on the lap
due to the relatively tight waist. The Prism CJ is excellent for fingerstyle, but also for plectrum picking or strumming.
GRAND CONCERT
The Prism Grand Concert (GC) model is a good choice for someone wanting a slightly smaller guitar. The GC is easier
to hold on the lap due to the slightly smaller lower bout and tighter waist. It is an excellent fingerstyle or general play
instrument for the home or coffee-house setting. However, it will hold its own in jamming sessions. The Prism GC is modified
with deep lower bout special voicing and other alterations to maximize bass response, but retains an even balance across midranges
and trebles. The Prism GC carries more mid-range punch than the larger models and a surprising amount of bass for its size.

If you are thinking of ordering a Prism
guitar, would like more detail, or would just like to discuss a possible design please contact me by
Since each guitar is custom modified based on the individual guitarist's desires and playing
styles, it is best to contact me and tell me what exactly you are looking for in an instrument. We can discuss some of the
key issues that help guide the building of an instrument that matches you (or the person that you are purchasing it for). Your initial down payment holds a place in the build schedule for you and fixes the base price of the instrument
at that time, please see Terms and Agreements
