The Beginnings
The Mariner started as a tracing I drew years ago — a little offset shape with two f‐holes that lived on my shop wall while other designs came and went. No matter what I was building, that sketch stayed pinned up, waiting for its moment. In 2026, it finally got its time to shine. The Mariner is built entirely from roasted woods: roasted flame maple for the top, roasted quartersawn maple for the back, and roasted pine sides, paired with a roasted flame maple neck and a ebony fingerboard. It’s a smaller guitar, but it never feels cramped or toy‐like. With a 24.625" scale and a 12" radius, it feels instantly familiar in your hands. It’s the guitar I reach for at the end of a long day — the one that pulls new ideas out of me because it doesn’t play or sound like anything else I’ve built.
Unique Qualities
I designed it to be more hollow and more acoustic‐leaning than the Cove — the next step deeper into true hollow body territory. It uses the same Phoenix pickup I spec for the Cove, made by my friends at Greenville Pickups in Warren, MI. The Phoenix is built like a Firebird pickup with an A2 magnet, and it pairs beautifully with the Mariner’s airy, resonant body.
Who is the Mariner for?
It’s for a cowboy to sling over his back while riding off into the sunset. It is also for anyone, even if you aren’t an equestrian. Since there’s only a neck pickup, I install a push pull on the volume to split the coils. It gives you a more treble and airy hollow sound. I dont find myself missing a bridge pickup when I play it. This guitar responds dramatically to where you pick: closer to the bridge gives you bite and treble, while drifting toward the neck warms up into that smoky, rounded sweetness. Sonically, the Mariner covers a surprising amount of ground. It can do the down‐tuned hollow‐doom thing, the jazz‐box thing, and with a touch of overdrive, it wanders straight into swampy, atmospheric territory.
