Description

This is a classical guitar handmade in 2016 by luthier Justin Stimson in Bloomington, Indiana, USA.  Notable features include:

The guitar has no soundhole in the top, which allows for more vibrating surface.  Nevertheless, the body resonance is correct for a traditional classical guitar at F#3.)
- Zero fret

- 12-hole bridge
- Uninterrupted purflings
- Traditional Spanish neck
- Playing weight of only 1619 g

atural, open-pore matte finish - you can see, feel, and hear the wood.
The materials are as follows:
- Top: Master-grade western red cedar
- Top braces: Spruce
- Back, sides, bindings: East Indian Rosewood

- Bridge, fingerboard, peghead veneer: Gaboon ebony

Do not be distracted by this guitar's unique design, exquisite materials, and stunning craftsmanship - it's all about the sound.  Its enormous soundboard, coupled with its resonant back and sides, and its solid, yet lightweight construction, provide excellent projection coupled with amazing balance across the fingerboard.  The soundports ensure that the experience is as enjoyable for the player as for the audience.
This guitar's playability is excellent.  The setup has been praised by professional players and the string spacing is slightly narrower than usual for classical guitars.  The intonation is excellent.
Please note that this is a well-loved instrument and the top shows evidence of it when closely examined.  Please see the photos.
The guitar ships in a Gator Deluxe ABS case.
