SOLD - Grand Concert with Armrest and Soundport
This grand concert guitar has incredibly figured makore (African cherry) back and sides. I've added a dark burst to accentuate the figure. The sitka spruce soundboard has some figure as well and produces a very rich and lively tone. Lots of ebony on this instrument too - the fingerboard, bridge, headstock veneer and backstrapping. Topped off with customized mother-of-pearl inlay, Laskin-style armrest and a side soundport, this guitar is one of a kind. Although it is sold, if you like what you see, I can build one like this just for you. (Hover the mouse over the guitar to see the back.)
