The back-and-sides of this guitar are made of
African Blackwood, which is the current
wood-of-choice now that high-quality Brazilian
Rosewood is nearly unobtainable. The result is a
guitar with the traditional look of a rosewood
guitar, coupled with the bright and powerful
sound of my proprietary soundboard design.
The soundboard is Master-grade Sitka Spruce, and
the 660mm-scale-length fretboard is Madagascar
Ebony. The bridge and binding are Snakewood, the
Neck, Heel & Head Block are Spanish Cedar, which
is traditional for Spanish classical guitars.
The peghead is African Blackwood, inlaid by Craig Lavin Custom Inlays with my "JAD" logo in abalone and a “Diamond Maui Girl™" design containing four small genuine diamonds.
The guitar is fitted with Sterling Silver
Hauser-style David Rodgers tuning machines with
Snakewood buttons. The peghead uses my
proprietary Rear String Slot design; the
soundboard uses my proprietary Projection Tuned™ BRACELESS "double soundboard" design licensed
from RainSong; and the heel has my signature
Abalone heelcap. The inside of the soundboard is
signed, dated and numbered (#14) by me.
The guitar has a very strong and full tone, and
is set up with a very low action for fast Spanish-style playing.
$12,500.00 which includes a hard-shell case. |
