Here on consignment from the luthier is this impressive hybrid nylon string guitar.
Rodney Stedall has been hand making guitars since 1996, exclusively using mature tone woods and always applying the age old technique of French polishing. French polishing is a very time consuming way to finish a guitar, so you can bet that Rodney hasn't cut any corners during the build process. After all, this is the type of meticulous work that gets you in the top 5 at the European Guitar Foundation - Antonio Marin Montero Guitar Construction Competition.
The top is made of AAAA European Spruce while the back and sides use Brazilian Rosewood dating to 1978. With BRW being a highly sought after tone wood, here is a great opportunity to purchase a one off luthier build with a huge tonal advantage.
The guitar features a narrower 48mm nut width, a raised Ebony fingerboard with a mild radius, allowing more access to the upper frets. All features that will please the steel string crowd. The integrated armrest on the lower bout makes for an ultra comfortable touch, while the Gotoh 510 tuners are a fantastic finish.
