I called up a friend and selected 7 killer Red Spruce top: a couple that were all clear, a torrified piece, some interesting mineral streaked ones. They all had common traits to red spruce. They where light, stiff, and their taptone was superb. These were so exceptional I had Gary record videos for each one. Amazing guitars.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The Red Spruce top and vintage style Mother of Pearl dot inlay paired with the Rosewood back and sides lands right in the lap of a traditionalist.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17820″ img_size=”largeg”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”17825″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]The Scalloped Ratio Plus bracing lowers the weight of the soundboard while maintaining stiffness. The short answer here is that stiffness to weight is one of the defining characteristics of a great sounding top. It’s also a step forward in Dreadnought design. I strive to be at the forefront of design.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The process of torrification collapses some of the air cells in the soundboard. Again this contributes to a favorable stiffness to weight gain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17828″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”17829″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]I’m VERY fond of this guitar. The slight mineral streaking makes it visually simulating but its just a fantastic sounding guitar![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Another great guitar! This one was a real head turner for Gary Antol. He almost took this one home.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17831″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”17868″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]This guitar is a cannon. Loud surely but really articulate as well. A great guitar![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]I think the coolest thing about these guitars is their limited to 4 guitars. Don’t miss it.
