What a wonderful time creating this latest run. These are of a familiar style although some serious modifications that lead me to the "CP" series. The body is of semi hollow construction...with a South American mahogany core...the "wings" are hollowed out and there is a 4" center block that runs from head block to tail....similar to an ES style. The plates are multi layer veneer pressed by me..of bookmatched figured maple on the front and bookmatched quartered SA mahogany on the back. The body is 14" at the lower bout 10" upper bout and 18" long. This is accompanied by a SHORT SCALE 23.5" ...and great weight of 7lbs 14 oz. Let's get to some details!!
