The
size and shape of this guitar is the same
as my models influenced by Antonio de
Torres.
However
the bracing is quite different:
the European spruce soundboard is thinner
and is supported with my own development
of a rectilinear-quadrate patern of struts.
The sides are of a double laminate and
the back of a triple laminate as can be
seen in the description below on the left.
A
guitar with exceptional projection and
beautiful tone with clear fundamentals,
good sustain and a wide palette of colour.
|
|
|
| With
DEFRA certificate for Brazilian rosewood |
Each
rosette is individually made with very
slight variation in design. The outer
& inner circles of the rosette are
the same as the purfling |
|
|
|
| This
refers to the approximate internal capacity of
the soundbox and gives. for comparison, a more
accurate size of the different models that I make. |
|
ie if the body cavity were filled with a liquid
this is how many litres it would hold. |

Rosewood
head veneer individually carved.

Sloane tuners with Ebony buttons

|
| The
Brazilian rosewood bridge has six double holes
in the tie block providing for good break angle
of the strings.
