Bill's Box is Sanded Flush

While browsing my website Bill came across my friend Dave's Grand Concert and liked the look of it, but had some unique ideas for his own Custom Axe. His main target tuning is (low to high) CGCGCF. This preferentially lowers the bass strings a bit, so we came up with a multi-scale design that will provide excellent string tension, punch and sustain on all six strings. We decided on the baritone body size (16" lower bout) in order to provide good resonance for the low bass notes. For ergonomic comfort, Bill chose to include the Manzer wedge and the Ryan bevel. The side soundport is a great design feature that really enhances the tone of the instrument dramatically for the player.
