The dancer – shapely, agile and refined…
I started thinking about archtop style guitars after meeting Martin Taylor and working
on several from his collection, including his main working guitar. I had the opportunity
to see and feel some of the best examples which I have only ever seen elsewhere
in books. As I started to slowly fall in love with the music I decided I just had
to make one and came up with the Coryphée.
Put your arms around the Coryphée and lead the chorus.
