Overview
The body of this guitar is specifically designed to respond to the frequencies developed by a long scale bass instrument. Notice the bridge is positioned in the middle of the vibrating part of the soundboard for tonal efficiency. Bracing is designed to give an even response from all the strings and it is available with or without a Florentine cutaway. It is usually only available in Sitka Spruce soundboard with Mahogany back and sides, bound in Rosewood with Ebony fingerboard and bridge. I make the instrument in both fretted and fretless versions. This one has a matt lacquer finish.
