The back-and-sides are extremely High-Figure Bubinga, which is also extremely distressed the wood is BEAUTIFUL, but the cracks and voids were major lutherie challenges! The resulting guitar is unique and uniquely beautiful.
The soundboard is master-grade Redwood. The fretboard is Madagascar Ebony with a 660mm scale length. The bridge is Ebony, the headplate is High-Figure Bubinga, and the headplate inlay of my "JAD" logo and "Maui Girl™" trademark was done by Craig Lavin Custom Inlays. The neck and peghead are Spanish Cedar and the guitar is fitted with Waverley Gold-plated tuning machines with MOP buttons. The result is an elegant, sophisticated and powerful instrument.
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 (#12) by me.
The guitar has the full and balanced tone typical of my Projection Tuned™ soundboards, and is set up for normal classical playing.
$7,500.00 which includes a hard-shell case.
