Petite Leaf
Intimate. Expressive. Built to connect.
Small Body. Big Character.
With its compact OM-inspired silhouette, the Petite Leaf brings vintage charm and modern expression together in perfect harmony. A 12-fret neck joint and short 630 mm scale give this guitar a more intimate feel — ideal for relaxed sessions on the porch, creative moments on the road, or focused playing at home.
Despite its modest size, the Petite Leaf holds its own on stage and in the studio. Responsive, warm, and full of character, it delivers nuanced tone and outstanding playability for guitarists who appreciate subtlety without compromise.
All Mahogany Edition
For Blues, Roots & Beyond
The all-mahogany Petite Leaf takes this model in a different direction — deeper, woodier, and full of vintage soul. This variant is tailor-made for blues and roots musicians, offering a dry, focused tone that’s rich in warmth and midrange punch.
Squareneck Special
Inspired by Vintage Lap-Steel Sounds
Built on the same body shape, my acoustic squareneck version of the Petite Leaf channels the look and feel of classic Hawaiian lap-style guitars. With a raised nut and flat fingerboard, it’s designed for expressive slide playing and resonates with vintage character and modern craftsmanship. Originally made for Vancouver & Austin Legend Jeff Plankenhorn (J Plank).
