90 years old highly figured Brazilian rosewood, Alpine spruce top, Lattice Bracing, 
Armrest, 640mm, radius, Exclusive Leather hand embossed case.  Masterpiece !
This set of 90 years old I received from Cascavel (Brazil) reminds me of a wild cat fur with dramatic figuring that keep you staring at her for long stretches of time. The set has been air drying since the end of WW 1! I like to bring about these historical events because they keep things, time, in perspective. The set had a wonderful tap tone. So much so that I decided to match it with the best cut of Alpine Spruce I have. 

The species grows at fabulous altitudes on the Italian Alps rendering the fibers a lot stronger, and tighter (more info below). The sound on this Brazilian rose is simply fantastic. Generous from the very first note plucked on her. Keep in mind that she is fresh out of lacquering and that the clip you hear was recorded as soon as the guitar was passed to my from the lacquering booth. Solid bass that send a huge punch to the players body accompanied by a clear and sweet treble enriched by harmonic enhanced mid tones that set this babe apart from the rest. The Lattice braced top allows for some otherwise impossible frequencies to shine majestically.

The armrest allows the player's tendons to be less strained when presenting the arm on the ring and at the same time prevents the forearm to interfere with the top that is free to vibrate fully.

I used the best marquetry to decorate this beauty. A gorgeous tropical looking Handmade Brazilian rosette, a figured ebony decorated bridge and amazing finishing details on the neck which has a triple enforcement of  Brazilian rosewood and maple.
The detailing is simply amazing and I ensure that artistry is present all over this jewel guitar.
The 640mm action allows for ease of play and the radiused ebony fingerboard creates ease when stopping notes in scales and when performing barres.

Italian Alpine spruce grows at extremely high altitudes in very cold environment. This slows the growth making the fibers tight and musically very resonant.  A beautiful range of sound with a fast response. Clear trebles and a reverberating bass that makes the whole body vibrate.
