92 years air dried Brazilian rosewood B&S, Canadian cedar top, Ebony bindings, radiused fingerboard and bridge. Hauser braced top. 640mm.  Embossed leather case included. BEAUTY !

* ACTUAL PICTURES AND VIDEO

This gorgeous Cedar top was built between January 27th and today, February 17th. She's literally fresh out of lacquering. 
All her qualities, both aural and aesthetical are simply magnificent. A wonderful set of Brazilian rose from Rio that has air dried for approximately 92 years. Tap tone and tight grain to deliver the best sound.  Western redcedar adds the sweetness to a shining sound. A huge amount of overtones and a superb separation of voices sets this babe apart from the rest. Romance shines on this babe and the response of the instrument is immediate. I tried a small tenuto with a slight vibrato on the high E and the result is a lovely ornament. Simply Outstanding ! 
Ebony bindings, radiused fingerboard and bridge ... 2 colors Brazilian rosewood on the headstock and the most delicate marquetry imaginable crowned by a Russian rosette. 
Swift action and ease of play are the norm on all my concert instruments, with the 640mm scale making everything more "natural for the LH". 
An A+ babe from every angle.

Radiused or flat fingerboard?

.
Radiused or flat fingerboard?
The radiused fingerboard has been around the acoustic and the electric guitar since day one. The same is true for most instruments of the Stringed family of instruments (violas, violins cellos, bass). Radiusing (image above) makes barre and left hand stopping A LOT easier. The only drawback is that you will NEVER want to play a  flat fingerboard after that. If you are having your custom guitar built, I am all pro radiusing the fingerboard.  The standard fingerboard is flat.

640mm or 650 mm?
Regarding 650mm or 640 mm guitar construction, keep the following rule at hand: If the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your little finger is equal or less than 9 in. when fully stretched, use 640 mm. Adapting from one scale to the other takes no adaptation
