Ben Mannix OM Guitar with Bevel
Berkowitz JAB Acoustic Bass Guitar
The JAB was developed at the request of John Jennings. Jennings wanted an acoustic bass guitar that sounded like an acoustic bass. Many of the commercially available acoustic basses are tight, and punchy, and bass-y, and often very stringy sounding, but lack the deep, warm, woody tone of an upright bass viol. The charge Jennings gave to David Berkowitz was to create an instrument that was “like the [JB-30] baritone, but bigger.” The result was the JAB acoustic bass guitar–as close as you’ll get to a true acoustic bass

Froggy Bottom A12 Dlx Mahogany Sunburst Guitar
- The tone of this sweetheart is just plain fun! Punchy, spanky, but still thick and rich. The day we recorded it, it was just as loud as 2 much larger guitars in the same session. Some of these Audio samples are a bit long ~ that is because I darn near had to pry this A12 guitar out of Lance's hands!

Ken Parker 7 string Acoustic Archtop
- Uber cool tail piece that was hand fabricated by Ken Parker from sheet aluminum, and the finish was created by Marvin Jensen, a close friend, mentor, and collaborator of his. The finish is a result of a unique and very complex suite of actions, based on a series of anodizing (aluminum dying) events that Marvin Jensen invented.
