This Small Body Flat Top Guitar Is One of my Favorites
This body shape was taken from my Ramirez classical mold, and shrunk from the whole perimeter. This Brazilian Rosewood is extremely old growth. The body shape is in between a parlor size and a classical size. The 12 fret design changes the overall tonality of the instrument. This is another version of a tall bridge and saddle that contribute to the 12 fret for a really unique tone. The European Spruce was chosen carefully to enhance the Brazilian Rosewood. This is one of my favorite designs that I’ve built.
