Asymmetrical, Slotted head, 14th Fret Neck join, Real wood Auditorium Work in progress at the moment (SOLD)
After the quick sale of my last instrument I decided to make another - more decorated - similar model. This one has a slotted head, Indian rosewood back and ribs, Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, Brazilian Mahogany neck, walnut and apple rosette, and steel Waverly tuners.
I am going follow on with my last experimentation of making the body profile asymmetrical. I tried this years ago with a birds eye Maple model, now owned by Cliff Van Coevorden. Not everyone liked it aesthetically, but tonally I strongly believe it's the way forward! Along with the other methods I employ I find this blends in nicely.
Another little touch I intend to feature on this model is a chamfered lower left hand bout, with another monitor on it as well. I want to do this mainly for comfort, but I believe, after having used monitors in my last two instrument, that this double monitor shall produce even more clarity for the player! If you'd like to check out the work in progress then drop me a line!
