African Blackwood Spruce/Cedar Double Top #2016-23

This concert classical guitar is a spruce/cedar double top with African blackwood back and sides. This guitar has remarkable sound qualities and projection, not to mention the dramatic highlights that the French polish brought out in the spectacular hues of the blackwood.  I trimmed the guitar in ebony to further enhance the back and sides.  The back features a beautiful sapwood design that mimics a flame.  The new owner named this guitar "Sauron" because it reminded him of the flaming eye in "The Lord of the Rings" movies.   Features include:  Master grade spruce/cedar sound board, Spanish cedar raised neck, hand made unique rosette with wheat motif, Brazilian rosewood bridge with 12 hole tie block, fan braced for traditional sound, ebony finger board with 20th fret and aluminum fret indicators at the 5th and 7th frets, Alessi™ classical tuning machines - with ebony buttons with friction resistant black rollers and a hand applied French polish.
