This guitar rocks. The customer, an excellent finger-style player, just loves it. I can build you one just like it!
(This guitar is quite similar in size and shape to a Taylor GA: basically a dreadnought size with a waist and without
the squared-off shoulders). This, like the B00, is my own design from scratch and I think it is one of my most
successful guitars.
Here are several GAs:
Cutaway with abalone trim around the top and abalone rosette, custom fretboard inlay, figured purpleheart back and sides,
bearclaw Sitka spruce top, BBand pickup, gold tuners with ebony buttons. Ebony pinned bridge.
