This Brazilian rosewood Cutaway is one of the most astonishing instruments you'll ever see. Everything on this babe is SPECTACULAR. The "Lion type of grain" on the 90+ years air dried set of Brazilian rose from Rio de Janeiro is SPECTACULAR ! The selection of rosette and bindings elevate her to a level of artistry that will leave you breathless. A cutaway to die for is a close representation of this beauty. You will fill you eyes and ears with beauty and will feel so AMAZINGLY comfortable while playing her. The 640mm radiused ebony fingerboard, slim neck and the cutaway make her almost illegal !:-) That's how easy and natural she feels in the player's hands. You can request the addition of a sound port. I definitely recommend it but I want to leave it up to the player because some may prefer electronics or even a double sound port.
The sound is electrifying and you will not believe she's a cutaway ! The deep round basses coupled with the most brilliant and at the same time sweet trebles will capture you forever. Putting her down will be the hardest thing to do. MASTERPIECE of luthery !
