OOO Cutaway Steel String

OOO Cutaway Steel String

This instrument has a 40 year old master grade Engelmann spruce soundboard with scalloped X-bracing and a spalted maple rosette. The back and sides, as well as the peghead veneer, are highly figured cocobolo that has been mistaken for Brazilian rosewood by several people.  The one-piece Honduran mahogany neck is 1 3/4″ wide at the nut. Bloodwood/maple bindings dramatically frame not only the body, but the fretboard and peghead as well.  The bound ebony fretboard has gold EVO fret wire for extra long life and a 25″ scale.  String spacing at the bridge is 2 3/16.”  Unbleached bone was used for the nut and saddle. Gotoh tuning machines and high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete the instrument.

The body is 15 1/4″ at its widest and 4 1/8″ deep at the tail.

This is a wonderful instrument for any fingerstyle guitarist.  Its dynamic range, balance, tone color and sensitivity are unsurpassed.
