DESIGN FEATURES
Tonewoods : Soundboards
Choose one of these primary topwoods in any order at the base price:
-
sitka spruce
-
engelmann spruce
-
red cedar
Premium woods such as redwood, port orford cedar, adirondack spruce and carpathian spruce are an extra charge.
Each has some quality that endears them. I encourage those who are unfamiliar with the tone of these to compare the audio files.
Necks
Every neck is Laminated and carbon fibre reinforced. This is for strength, and locks in neck settings nicely, and minimizes against future movement. All necks are supported by a two-way truss-rod, accessible through the soundhole. Adjustment key included.
Choice of : walnut, mahogany or maple with thin black purfle in the center.
Default finish is gloss lacquer, but an oil-finish is also available.
