NEWLY FINISHED 2015 - Classical guitar - superb yellow cedar top (well over 30 years old) with distinctive ash back and sides. Mahogany bindings, diamond pattern back and butt strip. 650mm scale, ebony finger board 52mm wide at the nut. Sounds delightful, pleanty of volume, with lots of tonal colour, sustain. In my view concert quality. See photographs of this great guitar in the picture gallery - just click on image for larger picture. Any questions please contact me. Sides are double thickness designed to give the instrument projection. With the exception of the frets and strings this guitar was entirely hand crafted. One or two special design ideas have also been incorporated – such as the special Sakurai style fan bracing which seems to complement the cedar top beautifully. Sound of course is difficult to describe but to my ears the instrument has great sustain, trebles singing through with their own voice supported by rich bass strings. All this is designed to delight the discerning guitarist. See more on web - tkclassicalguitars.co. Please see latest review of this guitar on my web site by an advanced classical guitarist studying at the Royal Northern School of Music. The specification:- Top - 30year old yellow cedar Back & Sides - Ash Bindings - Mahogony Nut & Saddle - Bone Neck - Spanish Cedar spliced hardwood Fret board. - ebony • Finish - gloss lacquer with French polished top. Neck width at nut - 52mm Neck at 12th fret - 63mm Scale - 650mm • rosewood 12 hole bridge Subtle polished 7th fret inlaid spot marker. Imported gold effect with exotic hardwood Guitar construction Facts: 1) It takes about 120 hours to build a concert guitar.
2) The most time consuming work is sanding and finishing
3) The most skill is required to sculpt the neck, head, bridge, bond the 2 halves of the top and fine tune the top.
4) The most delicate stage is the thinning of the soundboard and preparation of the action
5) Patience is ESSENTIAL throughout
6) The most intimidating stage is routing for the bindings and the purflings
7) The most thrilling experience is tapping the soundboard and hear the sound change with every adjustment.
8) A modern technique requires special luthier tools and forms.
9) Great attention is required for the routing for the rosette
10) Unbelievable is seeing the wood bend with the heat
11) Wonderful is the experience of playing a newly finished guitar
12) Not anyone can build a concert guitar You are welcome to try before you bid, please contact me if you are interested. Note: HARD ABS CASE INCLUDED WILL POST TO USA or EUROPEAN UNION - ALL OTHER COUNTRIES PLEASE ASK FOR SHIPPING QUOTE.
