 Guitar #018
Acoustic Honduras Mahogany
OO
12th fret
Solid Sitka Spruce top, Honduras Mahogany back and
sides, Honduras Mahogany neck.
Completed August 4th 2004
This guitar has been built for a specific person.
She wanted a guitar similar in size to a classical guitar, but easier to
play. A 12th fret neck to body joint and a size similar to a classic
Martin OO sounded like it would fit the bill. Because of its size and the
use of Honduras Mahogany it is vary light in weight. This guitar also has
a thinner body than a Dreadnought and therefore has less air to push giving a
nice balanced sound but with less volume.
