Nowland Circus AE

This beautiful custom cutaway electric acoustic was built by Joel Nowland at West Point Utah. This was a custom job and except for the head and Circus model body shape all the design elements, woods, bridge, soundhole, head inlay, type & grade of soundboard and cutaway type were ideas requested by the original customer in 2000. It is the last Circus and 1 of only 4 Circus models. 

All Nowland guitars feature a very strong and stable center laminated, opposing grain, easily adjustable for angle and height above the guitar’s top,and easily removable “Tone-Tunable” neck design. Joel carefully designed and implemented what he considers very important improvements on other design elements such as the back and soundboard bracing and bridge design. Each of these Innovations gives musicians the ability to customize each guitar to fit their individual needs.

Nowland guitars feature three unique and advanced soundboard bracing patterns which are very strong, yet allowing the top to respond freely to the energy received from the strings.

Joel’s love of working with the finest tonewoods from around the world and his passion for his craft have become a lifelong pursuit as he has patiently refined his craftsmanship and knowledge of fine woodworking over twenty-five years and the fine art of lutherie.
