Precious

‘Precious’ was my first build. It is a dreadnought style guitar (looking a lot like an HD28), featuring:
  • Indian rosewood back & ribs
  • Spruce soundboard
  • Mahogany neck
  • Ebony fingerboard & pearl dots
  • Rosewood peghead overlay
  • Herringbone purfling & white binding
  • Herringbone soundhole inlay
  • Finished in clear waterbased lacquer
  • Bone nut
  • Ebony bridge & bone saddle
  • D’Addario medium gauge strings
  • Gotoh tuners
It has wonderful sustain, loud & strong tone... A little bassy, but then it is large & Rosewood.
