From the Mackenzie/Marr website.
Ian Tyson signature guitar handcrafted in Canada. Sitka spruce top over solid book matched rare Bolivian Rosewood. Florentine cutaway with LRBaggs Anthem onboard. Bond nut and saddle. Professional arch top hard shell case.
When we found a secret stash of rare Bolivian Rosewood, we knew it was destined for an exceptional guitar.
They asked for inspiration, so we turned to our old friend in Alberta. Ian Tyson had definite ideas about what he wanted. The result of his input, together with the skill of our craftsmen, has delivered an exceptional solid wood Florentine cutaway - the lan Tyson Inspiration, the newest MacKenzie & Marr Guitar.
A Florentine cutaway, one that comes to a sharp point, differs from a gently curved Venetian cutaway in more than just visual appeal. With a Florentine cutaway, the guitar is constructed as a symmetrical full-body model, and then the cutaway section is removed.
The sidewall of the detached section is inverted and re-attached, creating the unique Florentine profile.
Because of the skill, time and difficulty required to craft a genuine Florentine cutaway, they are not as common as the Venetian version.
Please note:
The blend between dark heartwood and lighter sapwood varies from guitar to guitar. No matter what the blend between the two we guarantee that your guitar will be a work of art. (NB. Jerry, our luthier, and John waste a whole lot of time simply marvelling at each guitar as they prep it.)
