Build and features

This Alhambra cutaway is topped by solid German spruce with cross-silking, while the back and sides come in figured Indian rosewood. There is a single carriage-line and wood purfling to the top and bottom of the rims, together with a central strip between the book-matched back.

The transfer rosette circles a larger soundhole - its pattern is repeated on the tie block to the rear of the rosewood bridge. Cedar is used for the neck, set on a scooped neck block, and is reinforced with an ebony strip. The smooth ebony fingerboard carries the 19 medium frets, which are well-polished, while at their head is a bone nut.

The headstock is faced with an expertly cut piece of rosewood, while to either side are the decorative, gold-plated three-on-a-strip tuners with ebony buttons. A Fishman Prefix Pro Blend system, with mic, controls the undersaddle Acoustic Matrix pickup.
