Aged Brazilian rosewood B&S, LATTICE braced Port Orford Cedar top, armrest, violin tie, 640mm, radiused fingerboard, Embossed leather case. Rare Beauty !
Port Orford Cedar is perhaps the best choice for those players that are undecided about whether to go for Spruce or Cedar for the top. This wood possesses the best of both species: A tremendous separation of voices and a great punch. Playing this guitar was a pleasure and I felt in total control even though only played her for a fe minutes.
An Aged Set of Chocolate Brazilian rosewood gives her the depth and sustain a guitarist dreams about and every detail we added in the construction was pointing towards one objective: to make her PERFECT.

640mm or 650 mm

Radiused or flat fingerboard?

The lattice is a concept based on the A frame of grand pianos. The back and sides are kept rigid by means of a sturdy A shaped frame and the top is thinned as much as possible to allow the top to vibrate generously. As you see from the picture above, the thinned area is approximately 1.2 mm thick (VS 2-2.5 in the standard thinning techniques). Lattice delivers a lot of volume (approximately 21 dbs more) and wonderfully clear trebles

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 time at all.

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.
