2023 Froggy Bottom Model C Deluxe - German Spruce & Indian Rosewood #C2419

The 2023 Froggy Bottom Model C Deluxe is a stunning example of the artistry and refinement that have made Froggy Bottom one of the most revered names in modern acoustic guitars. Built by Michael Millard and his small Vermont workshop after decades behind the bench as founder of Froggy Bottom Guitars, this Model C Deluxe captures the unmistakable voice, elegance, and attention to detail that define his instruments.

At the heart of this guitar is a beautifully responsive German spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, a classic tonewood combination that delivers exceptional balance, warmth, and projection. The German spruce provides remarkable clarity and dynamic range, while the Indian rosewood adds rich overtones, deep bass response, and a smooth, singing treble. Combined with the intimate and articulate 12-fret Model C body, the result is a guitar that feels equally at home under a light fingerstyle touch or a more expressive, full-bodied attack.

Visually, this Deluxe model is every bit as captivating as it is musical. Curly koa bindings and heelcap frame the body with warm, shimmering contrast, while the abalone rosette and matching backstrip add a sophisticated flash of color. The bound slotted headstock is faced in rosewood and adorned with Froggy Bottom's iconic abalone frog inlay, creating an instantly recognizable and unmistakably elegant silhouette.

The Gabon ebony fingerboard and belly bridge lend a sleek, traditional feel, while the Green Abalone #5 Pattern Scalloped Diamonds inlays bring just the right amount of vintage-inspired sophistication. Ebony bridge pins with paua abalone dots continue the upscale aesthetic all the way to the bridge, complemented perfectly by the imitation tortoise shell pickguard.

A Honduran mahogany neck with a comfortable 1 3/4" nut width, 2 5/16" bridge spacing, and 24.75" scale length gives this Model C Deluxe an inviting, effortless playing feel. The 12-fret neck joint enhances the guitar's warmth and resonance, while a set of 4060 nickel Waverly tuning machines provides precise, reliable tuning stability.

Though previously owned, this 2023 example remains in excellent condition and has been exceptionally well cared for. Weighing just 4 lbs. 12 oz., it is remarkably lightweight and lively in the hands, exactly what players hope to find in a fine Froggy Bottom. It comes housed in its original black American Vintage Series TKL case, ready for its next chapter.
