About the Instrument

Fine aged Honduran Mahogany and a torrefied Sitka Spruce top define the sustained colorful tone of this 12 fret CLASSIC STEEL STRING. The proportions of this guitar mimic a classical model that has been refined for hundreds of years. This model features a 1 7/8" nut width and a 25" (635mm) scale for easy fingerstyle playing. Torrefication is a treatment process that pre-ages the wood during kiln drying and markedly increases sustain. The soundhole is trimmed with a wood inlay and the body is bound with curly maple and tulipwood, as is the players sound port. The bridge is a historically influenced design in Brazilian rosewood, and the fingerboard is ebony. The neck is Spanish cedar inlaid with carbon fiber. The tuners have engraved plates and are antiqued nickle with ivoroid buttons.  The voice of this guitar reflects a strong mid range from the mahogany, and an extra strong volume and sustain from the domed top. It plays easily with its wide and low radius fingerboard featuring side dots only.
