Heike
This instrument owes it's inspiration to the guitars made by Antonio de Torres
Scale length 640 mm


The laminate sides of this guitar
are Birdseye maple outer skin
and Maple inner skin. It has a raised binding on the lower bout bass side of the guitar.


most of my guitars have bridge with 12 holes for good break angle and ease of re-stringing.
(see specification for each guitar)



 

Body Volume:
11.3 litres
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.
