“The first thing my wife said about my OM is “It’s as loud as that banjo,” which, I think, says a lot. More importantly, though, is that the tone is so amazingly perfect. Single notes, fingerpicked or in flat-picked solos, are clear and distinct. Chords have a harmonic relationship without a bassy washout. It maintains balance and integrity all over the fret board, and it’s a total joy to play. That’s the best thing about this guitar; this is a player’s instrument- song to song and style to style, it’s the guitar I want to play all the time. This is the guitar my kids will remember me playing when I’m gone.”

“My style is all about the strum. My intent is to provide some substance and foundation while the other players in the band add blasts of color here and there. Bianca, (my Stratton) provides an incredibly thick and lush sound giving me the exact results I’m striving toward. I even prefer it over my friend’s Martin. My Stratton is hands down the best guitar I’ve ever owned or played.” http://myspace.com/smallgasengine

“It’s the best sounding and playing guitar I’ve ever played”

Joshua Collum

Dust Settlers, Portland, OR

From the first time I played this instrument, I knew it was special. The sound is incredible, from the rich dark lows to the vibrant highs. It’s evident that Stephen understands tone quality and playability. The fit and finish are stunning and I couldn’t be happier with my mandolin. I know that I will cherish this instrument for rest of my life.
