This instrument has a straight-grained Italian spruce top paired with back and sides of beautiful almost-black 25-year-old Indian rosewood. It has my traditional-style handmade rosette, golden koa binding, and high-gloss French polish finish on the entire guitar. The sound is big and lush with a particularly silky quality to the notes and a broad color range. It's a very responsive instrument. Scale length is 650 mm and nut width 52.3 mm.
