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

 

 
Body Volume:
12.5 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.
