A 35-style custom dreadnought pairing a premium-grade Sitka Spruce VTS top with Guatemalan Rosewood back and sides, balancing the warmth and evenness of torrefied sitka against the density and low-end authority of the rosewood. Forward-shifted scalloped X bracing, hand-shaped in the Golden Era style, opens the top up quickly and gives the guitar a wide dynamic range from fingerstyle through to heavy strumming. A bold herringbone large soundhole rosette and straight herringbone top inlay pair with antique white binding, heel cap and endpiece, zig-zag back purfling, a faux tortoise pickguard and an Aging Toner top. The Select Hardwood neck is a Modified V with standard taper and dovetail joint, carrying a black ebony fingerboard at a 16-inch radius with a 1 3/4-inch nut, bone nut and compensated bone saddle.
