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.
|
|
Double
thickness binding on bass side of guitar provides
for greater rounding and more comfort |
|
|
This
is the first of the new model which took
many months in development.
The
exeptional quality European spruce soundboard
is braced with 7 tight grained spruce fan
struts .
The sides are of a double laminate and the
back of a triple laminate as can be seen
in the description below.
This developement
has produced a guitar with exceptional projection
whilst retaining a tone with
clear fundamentals, good sustain and a varied
palette of beautiful colours. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
Robson
