| 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 especially for a
shorter scale length guitar 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 |
|
|
|
| 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. |

Amazaque head veneer with mother
of pearl eye.

Sloane tuners with mother of

|
|
double
thickness binding on bass side of guitar provides
for smoother/greater rounding giving more comfort |
