Builders of Custom Hand Made Guitars

Our newest OM Model

This black topped Italian alpine spruce - Madagascar rosewood guitar is our latest OM. It features a Venetian cutaway, ebony fingerboard, a nontraditionally shaped sound hole, Macassar ebony bindings, Tibitian turquoise purflings, and Tibetian turquoise buttons on custom VS tuners. The rosette is crafted from away abalone, Tibetian turquoise, green abalone, and black pearl. Of course, like all Lame Horse Guitars, it features adjustable playing action, multi laminate Honduran mahogany neck, and a rear access panel.

Taos - Nylon String Acoustic Crossover

The Taos model utilizes the same Torres inspired body shape as the Elko model. The difference is the top is voiced for nylon strings, and the neck is slightly tapered, with a compound radius on the fingerboard, for extreme player comfort. Like all Lame Horse guitars, the Taos features the Lame Horse adjustable playing action system, and a rear access panel. Like its city namesake, Taos, New Mexico, this guitar is a little bit Spanish, an little bit American, and all fun.
