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.
It has my own made imitaion tortoise shell
pick guard.
|
|
Chita
is fitted with K&K pure
mini acoustic guitar pickup inside the guitar
right undeneath the saddle position.
|
|
The
rosewood handmade bridge has six horn pins
with abalone eyes.
The Earvana compensated saddle and matching
Earvana compensated top nut provide for the
best intonation possible.
|
|
|
| This
new steel string model has been developed
along with my new classical models.
The European spruce soundboard is supported
with my own cross braced system and the
neck is an integral part of the guitar with
a glued in spanish heel just as my classical
models.. The sides are of a double laminate
and the back of a triple laminate as can
be seen in the description below.
|
|
A
guitar with exceptional volume and projection
equal to that of much larger steel string
guitars. |
|
|
| Double
thickness binding on bass side of guitar
provides for greater rounding and more
comfort |
|
|
Locking
strap button and at base of the guitar.
|
| Two
way truss-rod accessible through soundhole |
|
|
| Body
Volume:
10.75 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. |
|
Waverly
individual tuners with imitation ivory buttons.
And Earvana compensated top nut. |
|
The
sides of the guitar are made as the upper
sample 2 piece laminate:
Inner 2.0mm Honduran rosewood, outer 2.0mm
Honduran rosewood.
(Sample shown is for illustration purposes
with the double laminate shown as maple and
rosewood rather than rosewood and rosewood)
|
| The
back of this guitar is made up of the following,
lower sample 3 piece laminate:
Inner 2.0 mm Honduran rosewood,
middle 2.0 mm spruce,
outer 2.0 mm Honduran rosewood.
|
|
9
ct gold inset dot at 5th, 7th and 9th frets.
Mother of pearl diamonds at 5th and 9th positions
