A deep-body custom auditorium built with a premium-grade certified European Spruce VTS top from high-altitude Swiss stock and Goncalo Alves back and sides, an unusual pairing that gives a bright, glassy top end over a fuller, more resonant bottom than a standard-depth body. Hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped X bracing and a long 25.4-inch scale keep the voice articulate and taut. Period detailing sets it apart: a 1930-style belly bridge with a long bone saddle, Waverly nickel tuners with butterbean buttons, long diamonds-and-squares fingerboard inlays in black ebony, an Authentic headplate logo, straight herringbone top inlay and zig-zag back purfling against antique white binding and an Aging Toner top. The Select Hardwood neck is carved to a Modified V with a modern 1930s-style heel, long diamond volute and dovetail joint, with a 16-inch fingerboard radius and 1 3/4-inch nut.
