This page provides the details on the B1 guitar (Size 1) and shows you some examples of this size guitar.
This is a wonderful fingerstyle guitar, easy to
transport, easy to play, very nice sound. I compared
this guitar to a Martin jumbo (J-42). Guess what, this guitar blew
away the Martin jumbo! Cool
vintage style, based on early 20th century Martin Size 1 guitar.
It's quite a small guitar. I used to
play one while sitting in the driver's seat of my Honda Civic (while parked!)
Basic B1 in Engelmann spruce and Pacific madrone:
Here's a recent custom Size 1 with European spruce top, Pacific aMadrona
back and sides, customized body,
lower bout chamfer for comfort, and a bass upper bout sound port:
