Master Tonewoods – A Rich & Dynamic Voice

At its core, this guitar features a premium Adirondack Spruce top, revered for its wide dynamic range, powerful response, and crisp articulation. Adirondack’s natural headroom makes it equally suited for delicate fingerpicking or full-bodied strumming, ensuring tonal clarity and warmth at any volume.

The back and sides are crafted from East Indian Rosewood, prized for its deep, resonant bass, rich overtones, and well-balanced sustain. This pairing creates a beautifully articulate voice—full and dynamic, yet controlled and refined. The Honduran Mahogany neck with a compound tapered dovetail neck joint, enhances tonal transfer, adding depth and responsiveness to every note.

Classic Tea Burst Finish – A Vintage Elegance

Finished in a stunning Tea Burst gloss, this guitar radiates an old-world aesthetic while preserving the natural beauty of its woods. The semi-gloss burst barrel and gloss-finished headstock offer a seamless tonal and visual flow, enhancing both resonance and elegance. Mother of Pearl inlays, including a delicate Diamond Scroll at the 12th fret, lend a touch of sophistication.

The guitar is further adorned with Figured Maple binding with Black/Maple purfling, providing a refined contrast that highlights its luxurious construction.

A Compact Powerhouse – The 14-Fret Advantage

Though compact, the 14-fret parlor body offers exceptional projection and sustain, with a 25.5” scale length and 1.75” nut width ensuring ease of play for intricate fingerstyle work and expressive lead lines. Every guitar is hand voiced, and uses Adirondack Spruce bracing to enhance responsiveness. This ensures remarkable projection, tonal depth and clarity.

For precision tuning and effortless adjustments, the guitar features Waverly #4067-G gold tuners with ebony buttons, while the bone nut and saddle optimize sustain and tonal purity.
