All guitars pictured below built by Stephen Neal Saqui

Myrtle Flattop - 12 frets to the body. This guitar was built for a player in the San Francisco area who wanted a steel-string guitar for perfoming classical. It was designed for fingerpicking with a size similar to the classical guitar. The neck width and shape were specified from the buyer.


The choice of woods vary. This instrument is a Flame Myrtle back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top. I have Brazilian, Honduran, and Indian Rosewood, Cuban Mahogony (very rare), Old Honduran Mahogony, Koa, Flame Maple, and others.

I enjoy building special instruments for individuals. The design of this guitar is mine, but I'm open to reasonable suggestions.
