New Guitars Off the Bench

Strung up two new guitars yesterday and I'm very happy with how they turned out. They are both lively, complex and have a wide range of timbres. The one with the elevated fingerboard has a bit more punch to it, whereas the standard model is more traditional sounding... for lack of a better word.

Custom concert model:

  • German spruce top
  • Indian rosewood back and sides
  • Spanish cedar neck with elevated ebony fingerboard
  • Sound port, rosewood armrest
  • Gotoh premium tuners with ebony buttons
  • 640mm scale length
  • 52mm nut width

Standard concert model:

  • Western red cedar top
  • Indian rosewood back and sides
  • Ebony fingerboard
  • Spanish cedar neck
  • Gotoh premium tuners with ebony buttons
  • 650mm scale length
  • 52mm nut width

In other news, I spent wayyy too long inlaying the center motive of a new Torres rosette taking time to square-up each tile with a little sanding block. Looks great though!
