Many luthiers consider the combination of rosewood back and sides with a spruce top to be the standard that all other wood combinations are measured against. This combination allows for rich tones with ample dynamics and projection. Each Top is hand selected Solid Spruce grown in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. The back and sides are solid book matched Indian Rosewood, chosen for both its appearance and acoustic integrity. The ebony fingerboard is fitted with nickel silver frets, leveled and finished by hand for perfect playability and intonation. The sound hole and perimeter of the top are inlaid with hundreds of pieces of beautiful abalone shell, while Figured Maple and Padauk binds the body, beveled cutaway, fingerboard and headstock.
