041526A
This guitar is a wonderful compilation of looks, feel and sound. I’ve always liked the look of a burst top over natural sides and back. The Pau Ferro grain is rather fetching. The body size and neck profile have near universal appeal and the tone offers an attractive selection for sofa, stage or studio with long term dividends. Great value for an American made shop built small body.
SPECS: 00-size body, 12-fret neck with slotted headstock, X-braced solid spruce top in relic burst finish, solid pau ferro rosewood sides and back in aged lacquer finish, solid maple neck with modern adjustable truss rod added, “C” neck profile, Golden Age tuning machines w/ cream buttons, new pau ferro radius’d fretboard with MOP inlays, new medium frets, new ebony bridge with compensated saddle slot, repurposed bone nut, saddle and pins, Nut width: 1 3/4”, String Spacing: 2 1/4”, Scale length: 25”, Upper bout: 9 3/4”, Lower Bout: 14”, Body length: 19 5/8”, Widest body depth: 4 1/4”, Overall length: 39 1/8”, Neck thickness at 1st fret: 7/8“, Neck thickness at 5th fret: 7/8”, Action: 3/32”, string gauge setup: Martin Monel Custom Light in standard tuning.
CONDITION: Shopbuilt flat top using Martin 00-body mold and repurposed vintage Harmony neck, both in relic finish. Please note that vintage, repurposed materials will have underlying swirls, scrapes, scratches, bumps and bruises. Any new features added during the rebuild were made to fit in with the old.
SOUND: This is one solid citizen, both in tone and playability. Warm bass and articulate trebles come to mind. Bare fingerstyle and light strumming are a proper playing style for this guitar. Action can be changed to suit playing style, within reason.
PRICE: $1,699
