Lame Horse Big Hoss Engelmann Spruce Bocote

Lame Horse Instruments is produced by the father and son team of Chris and Jeremy Jenkins in their respective workshops: Chris works in Mansfield, Jeremy works in Austin. They have been building custom handcrafted guitars since 1993 and each of their instruments is unique and a real eye-catcher!

The Big Hoss is an instrument that has been long overdue. Once it arrived, however, it has become almost as popular as its older but smaller brother, the Saddle Pal. The two instruments have the same body shape, but the dimensions of the Big Hoss are slightly larger than those of the Saddle Pal. It shares all the sound characteristics that make the Saddle Pal so special, but has just that little bit more to offer due to its larger size.

In terms of materials used and subtle details, there is little better than this Lame Horse. For example, the sound box is made of Bocote, with a top made of Engelmann spruce. The guitar is lightly built, making it extremely articulate and responsive. Despite the relatively compact size, the guitar has sufficient bass, while the treble is also beautifully present.

This Lame Horse has turquoise accents all around, and this color is also reflected in the robust Calton hardshell case in which the guitar is delivered.
