FILL THE PRAIRIE SKIES WITH MUSIC

Rave review

“The cowpoke is probably the finest musical instrument i am ever likely to own.”

Stephen Fearing

Sound

As its name suggests, this model is designed to fill the prairie skies with music. Originally ordered by a tall guy (who wanted a Manzer only bigger!). I used his request as an excuse to design a model that accommodates players who prefer a larger size body, with a big sound, which doesn’t sacrifice balance. This guitar can swing from a sweet, intimate finger-picking guitar to a great rhythm guitar in the same breath. The Cowpoke needs no coaxing to fill a room with your musical statement.
