This is the first prototype for a new part of the core line to compliment the all Mahogany model. This guitar is build with Solid Mutenye back and sides, Honduran Mahogany neck, Solid high grade Sitka Spruce top, and Adirondack Spruce Bracing.
The bracing layout is a modified "X-Brace" design. It's inspired by the pre-war Martin OMs. Each brace is cut and shaped by hand. We employ a tapered carve quite similar to the way it was done in the golden era.
The super thin Nitrocellulose finish on the top allows for free and resonant tone, while keeping the soft spruce top protected.
The hand rubbed oil finish on the back and sides is satin to the touch; almost like naked wood. This special finish allows the wood to breathe and vibrate freely, sealing the pores without building a thick finish. It looks and feels very different than a factory-sprayed gloss finish. The natural feel lends itself to an intimate connection and really showcases the beauty of the wood.

Note: The top finish has some minor imperfections. Some swirling scratches and a few small dents. I tried to get some back lit photos to show them, but they don't catch on camera very well. I will be working out these kinks in future builds. I have labeled this as B Stock, and have reduced the price accordingly.Full Specs:
