The P-45 is a brand new model which will debut at Tom Sands' “String Break” show in Harrogate in May 2026 (tickets available here!). This guitar is still under construction but will be made available shortly after the show. Get in touch if you would like to reserve it before then.​

​

It's a round soundhole design, which features a burled wood rosette that has been stabilised and dyed red and blue. Instead of the usual arched back found on most archtop guitars, this instrument features a cylindrical-styled back, originally designed by Howe Orme in the 1800s, but used by other contemporary makers such as Sobell and Taran.
