The Freehand Artist Model is an asymmetrical body shape, OM size acoustic flat-top guitar. This design evolved from earlier asymmetric archtop guitars that I built to commemorate 40 years of building archtop instruments. The German Spruce top, coupled with master-grade curly Koa, gives this LC model a warm, balanced, and powerful tone. It was built in 2020 - serial #1002.
