Each
rosette is individually made with very slight
variation in design. The outer & inner circles
of the rosette are the same as the purfling
around the edge of the soundboard. |
|
The
Brazilian rosewood bridge has six double holes
in the tie block providing for good break angle
and easy tying of the strings. The saddle tie
block and the saddle are black horn.

The stunning looking back and sides have Defra
cites certification. |

This
new model took many months in development.
The 'Kermodie' Lutz spruce soundboard is
braced with my own design longitudinal quadrate
bracing which provides for amazing balance
over the strings. The sides are of a double
laminate and the back of a triple laminate
as can be seen in the description below.
|
This
has resulted in a guitar with exceptional
projection whilst retaining a tone with
clear fundamentals, good sustain and a
beautiful palette of colour |
|
|
Double
thickness binding on bass side of guitar
provides for greater rounding and more
comfort |
|
|
|
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. |
|
Erving
Sloane tuners with ebony buttons. The top nut
is black horn. |
|
The
sides of the guitar are made as the upper sample
2 piece laminate:
Inner 2.0mm Spanish cypress, outer 2.0mm Brazilian
rosewood. |
The
back of this guitar is made up of the following,
lower sample 3 piece laminate:
