This instrument has all the features of the Concert Classical Guitar. It was made for the GFA 2010 Convention in Austin Texas, and it will be my candidate for the Luthier showcase.
It’s easy to play with great projection, volume and sustain. Piercing treble cut through and it can accommodate very low playing action for this very light Guitar. Soundboard is about 1.6mm and back is somewhere about 1.9mm to 2mm.
Usually this kind of construction requires set up at 4mm at 12th fret on basses and 3.75mm on the treble side. I mistakenly grounded the saddle too much, and the action was 2.9mm at basses and 2.7mm at trebles, there was not even slight distortion. Now it has proper clearance which is 4mm and 3.75mm at trebles.
Thank you for looking at my website.
