Here's my second guitar... After making a dreadnought which is suited to heavy rhythm strumming and big loud flat picking, I wanted to make a guitar for more dynamic fingerstyle-type playing which is what I'm doing more and more of these days. Here's the result: a slightly smaller body with much more curvature, a thinner body for less punchiness and more balance, and a thick wide neck (almost as wide as a classical) to get a good balance between a standard steel-string and a classical fretboard. I added an abalone rosette and purflings, a distinctive bridge, and headstock inlay to spice things up a bit. I've been playing this guitar for several months and it has really opened up. The tone is very well balanced while the notes stay distinct, and it's a lot louder than I would have originally thought given its size.
