Description

This is a beautiful concert instrument featuring several unique and striking design elements. Materials are very high quality and a pleasure to look at, including a perfectly quarter-sawn spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, as well as a flamed maple neck. Snakewood is used in the binding and back center strip, framing the guitar beautifully with its contrasting dark-brownish hue. The meticulously layered headstock is in 4 pieces of maple and 3 pieces of palo escrito (with rosewood front veneer), which "opens" elegantly into the neck, when viewed from behind. For this particular guitar, German used his "Elite" shaped headstock, with "vanishing" inlay on the front veneer. He used beautiful Leopard wood for the veneer on the back of the head, and on the heel cap. To top it all off, there is a subtle use of blue in the rosette, tie block, top purfling and even in the top layer of head veneer inlay, barely noticeable with the naked eye, but definitely contributing to the unique look and feel of this instrument. It is fitted with gold Evo frets, and Schaller GrandTune frictionless machines with snakewood buttons to match the binding. The shellac finish is applied with a level of attention to detail and perfection found in very few makers. The sound is extremely responsive and open, with plenty of volume and character. The trebles are very clear and full, and the basses are deep with a nice bouncy response. Playability is a dream with very low action and shorter scale length. It is also fitted with a 20th fret for repertoire requiring a high c natural. Overall, a beautiful-sounding and intricately made concert guitar for a great price. Although used, this instrument is in excellent condition with virtually no signs of prior use.
