This spruce/cedar
double top has back and sides of Indian
rosewood. The outer skin of the soundboard is
Italian spruce with a light "raindrop"
hazelfichte pattern. The inner skin is cedar,
and the core is Nomex honeycomb in the tradition
of Dammann and Wagner.
This guitar's sound is a great
combination of power and finesse, with a
beautiful traditional sonority, and lots of it.
The range of colors is vast; different voices
can be created with just subtle variations of
right-hand position. All the strings are even
across their range, and the first string stands
out, clear and beautiful all the way up to the
additional 20th fret.
The single sound port has a
sliding door so the guitar can be played with
the port open or closed.
