#015 - Spruce & Walnut
Key Features:
Engelmann Spruce Top with a Claro Walnut back and sides. This all solid wood classical guitar is constructed with a traditional asymmetrical fan brace pattern and paired with a contemporary structured back and sides.
Sound Profile:
This guitar has a wonderful clarity to its trebles and well defined basses that are perfectly balanced with the mid range of the instrument. Great sustain in the upper treble strings with a lot of overtone support.
#014 - Cedar & Cypress
Key Features:
This guitar is made from a western red cedar top and a Mediterranean cypress body, my favorite combination. This guitar is traditionally constructed with all solid woods and fan braced with my asymmetrical fan brace pattern.
Sound Profile:
At first glance and touch this guitar’s cypress body and fast attack speed almost suggests it’s a flamenco guitar, but one quickly hears the sustain and rich tonal palette and understands just how versatile this guitar really is.
#012 Cedar & Mahogany
Key Features: Baritone (B - b), Multiscale, Zero Fret, Lattice Bracing, & Offset Headstock.
Sound Profile: Articulate, rich, & even. This Baritone Guitar has a great dynamic range, surprising playability, and exceptional balance & clarity between voices considering the register of the instrument.
