|
| This
new model took many months in development
from my original model inspired by the guitars
made by Antonio de Torres.
The European spruce soundboard is braced
with 7 fan struts as my original Torres
model. 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 palette of colour that would have
brought a smile to the face of Picasso |
|
|
| with
DEFRA certification
for Brazilian rosewood |
Each
rosette is individually made.
|
|
| The
Brazilian rosewood bridge has six double holes
in the tie block providing for good break angle
of the strings.
|
|
|
| Body
Volume:
11.14 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. |

|
|
Double
thickness binding on bass side of guitar provides
for greater rounding and more comfort. |
