Moon Series

DSC02919.JPG

The 'Moon Series' is a style of guitar inspired by Ken Parker's work, which has gone through many iterations to reach its current form. It's an instrument that is designed to be extremely versatile and falls somewhere between a traditional archtop and a fingerstyle instrument. Due to the soundhole being relocated to the upper bout, it became possible to carve the top much thinner, resulting in a more dynamic and balanced sound.
