Anya

Sold

 

Meet Anya, a classical guitar in the old school tradition that includes a hand-rubbed French polish finish. Hand-selected top grade Engelmann Spruce for the top and Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides form the body, a Spanish Cedar neck with Ebony fingerboard and a stunning Redwood Burl rosette all come together to create something far greater than the sum of their parts.

 

Anya is tonally well balanced, has great string separation and clarity.

My newest dreadnought is “Arrakis” (the spice), she truly is from some distant planet.  She is the delightful “evil twin” sister to a 12-string I made a couple months back, her first notes were played last week. I kinda made it for myself but she’s up for grabs.

Dolores

$6,500.00 U.S.

 

Dolores is a 00-14 model consisting of Indian rosewood back and sides with European spruce top and Spanish cedar neck.  The binding, rosette and head inlays are snakewood; very warm and elegant.  Right now I am very fond of the wheatgrass purfling I used around the top and rosette.  The short 24.9” string scale make big stretches so easy and the small body size fits like a glove even for the petite player.
