Description

This is the "Exclusive" model, this workshops' top build. There is a 2 year waiting list for one of these so this is a great opportunity to have one now. Like Smallman guitars, these instruments are known for their great power and piano-like sustain. The heavily domed and very thick back gives the guitar a very rigid and stiff outer shell, forcing all the vibration to the soundboard, which is thinly built and reinforced internally with a unique lattice system. It also has a raised fingerboard and a 20th fret. The guitar is in excellent condition although it did recently have 3 top cracks repaired by Alan Chapman who did an excellent job of rendering them almost invisible. This is has been taken into pricing consideration as these can normally sell for $12,000 or higher. Back and sides are lacquer for improved durability and the soundboard is done in a thin layer of oil which has a matte-finish giving the guitar a very clean fit-and-finish to the appearance. It also has a handsome set of dramatic cocobolo with sapwood contrasts throughout.
