A custom concert-size guitar built for players who want a small body without a small voice, matching a premium-grade Adirondack Spruce VTS top to Guatemalan Rosewood back and sides. The short 24.9-inch scale reduces string tension for an easy, slinky feel, while hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped X bracing keeps the torrefied top quick and expressive under fingers. Long diamonds-and-squares inlays run down the black ebony fingerboard, set at a 16-inch radius with a 1 3/4-inch nut, and the appointments follow the 28-style pattern with a bold herringbone rosette, straight herringbone top inlay, zig-zag back purfling, antique white binding, heel cap and endpiece, and a faux tortoise pickguard over an Aging Toner top. Grover Sta-Tite tuners, a bone nut and a compensated bone saddle complete a compact, characterful instrument.
