Handmade steel string acoustic guitars by Jeff Monkman. I use a lot of older Martin specs as well as a few modern concepts. My guitars are not replicas but they do lean to more old school tone, look and feel.
I've played guitar for over 40 years and have owned over 100 acoustic guitars. My goal is to create a players guitar full of tone and with a great feel. Hopefully my experience translates into creating this type of guitar for others to enjoy.
The number of older specs that I use are too numerous to list here. Please contact me for more info.
Here are just a few specs:
Fish glue is used on all tone relevant areas.
Graduated top thickness.
Torrified Sitka top bracing.
Proper body radius (no radius dish is used).
Carbon fiber reinforcement rods in the neck.
Full thickness neck profile.
Thin finish.

Maker Policy
Custom guitars are made to order so there is no return policy. However I will not ship out a guitar that does not meet my high standards. Any issues that arise with a guitar will be handled honestly and fairly. Trade-ins on a new build are welcome.
