With the neck joined at the 12 th fret this guitar yields a very deep and throaty sound,
Particularly nice for Celtic drop tunings . With a 1 7/8" nut width it is also a real treat for
classical players ( like me) who cross over to steel strings occasionally .

allows for each string to be individually adjusted achieving close to perfect intonation
along with the preferred saddle height. Added to that is an increase in individual string to
bridge contact , eliminating the sometimes occurring "dead spots" which result from poor
saddle contact.
The side sound port ( below right) provides better overall sound projection, especially for
the player.
