120 year air dried Brazilian Rosewood B&S, Hauser Braced Alpine Spruce top. African Walnut Bindings, 640mm, 16" radiused Ebony fingerboard & bridge.  Exclusive handmade Luxury Marquetry with Russian Rosette, Handmade Embossed Leather case included ! BIG SOUNDING WORK OF ART !
Overwhelming beauty, love and care present in each minute detail, a gorgeous sound with basses that boom and trebles that sing marvelously are the essential qualities that a guitar must possess in order to be defined as a super instrument. The 120 year air dried set of Rosewood is beautifully bookmatched and has been air drying since 1891! This means that when this set started air drying,  Britain was being  linked to the rest of Europe by Telephone ! It sure puts her age into perspective... It is originally from Cascavel (Southern Brazil) and was one of the side door panels of an old (now demolished) Colonial church or convent. It had a fabulous tap tone that translated into the magnificent instrument that she is. The sound is reflected fast by all the internal surfaces and the special Hauser bracing gives the sound a perfect separation of voices and a grand sustain. Bach "Air on the G string" shines  and you can hear how every voice is masterfully separated by the other whilst the sustain keeps the bass ringing for ages.. She's tremendously easy to play thanks to the stylized 640mm scale, slim neck and radius...the action is at only 3.7mm att fret 12 and I am sure you can lower it to 3mm .

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.
 
 






 



The fan brace is based on the Hauser 1943 Frame. It incorporates 4 different species of wood: Sinker redwood, Spruce, Cedar and Mahogany. The sinker Redwood is the transversal strut that shortens the trebles side to augment the power of the high registers whilst Cedar and spruce were used on the bass side to augment the power of and resonance of the bass line. I think I can affirm that she has the most powerful 6th string I have ever heard and one of the best ringing trebles you can hope for. Simply amazing. The top was reduced to less than 1 mm towards the edges and just a little over 1 mm towards the bridge area where I installed a new underbridge system that connects the bridge with each strut in the fan brace whilst directing each frequency to the right portion of the top.

650 mm or 640 mm?
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. In stringed instrument performance, a single millimeter can mean the difference between playing effortlessly or the exact opposite.

Optional Velvet guitar cover (USD 35)
 
  • PROTECTIVE GEAR
These attractive hand sawn velvet guitar covers are very useful if you like to leave your instrument out of the case for long stretches of time. They are a great solution to avoid scratches during practice from the friction of buttons with the finish. To use it while playing, use it in the position shown to the right.

These are hand sawn by the wife of my Leather cases embosser.
