Happy birthday #36! I built this latest Grand Concert so that I could offer it at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival in August of 2007 in California. The top is real pretty piece of bearclaw Sitka spruce, the back and sides are African mahogany, the binding is curly koa, the rosette is thuya burl, and I picked out some nicely figured cocobolo for the bridge, fingerboard, and headplates. Despite all these woods, I feel that the guitar has a beautiful overall visual theme. I'm very happy with the tone, it resonates very freely despite having been played for 3 minutes. The bass is very full, and the instrument responds fully to a very light touch.
