This is one of the 7 Beauties. I wanted to built something of a hybrid design into a classical with easy access all the way up the neck. This was made of very old growth East Indian Rosewood and European Spruce. The body is very thin compared to most classical, which makes it very easy to hold, especially for women. The neck is not a typical classical neck - it has a 15 inch radius and a 1 7/8” nut. Al Di Meola played this and said it was the perfect neck. That was a huge compliment to receive from such a renowned, accomplished hero of mine. My friend Jim Weider (of The Band) said out of the whole Woodstock Guitar Invitational, he liked this one the best.
