The S000R-41 Limited Edition 000-bodied guitar combines solid Sitka Spruce for the top with Solid Indian Rosewood for the back and sides. Limited to just 60 guitars worldwide, this LE model is beautifully built and highly rewarding for the fingerstyle guitarist. Rich abalone has been used throughout for the inlays and binding, giving this guitar a premium look to match the beautiful solid tonewoods. A jet black ebony fretboard is complemented by a bone nut and saddle, while gold Grover open-gear tuners complete the package.
The engine of this guitar is the Sitka Spruce top, with a brightness and attack which brings the dark Rosewood to life. Rosewood is thought of by luthiers as a “slow” wood, lacking the quick response of, say, maple, but rewarding with acres of sustain and rich overtones. These woods are combined in a traditional 000 body. Smaller and shallower than a big dreadnought, this guitar is ideal for seated playing, while a balanced tonal response amply rewards more intricate playing styles.
In terms of aesthetics, you’re left in no doubt that the S000R 41 is a very special guitar. Traditional premium appointments include jet black ebony for the fretboard and rich abalone purfling and inlays. Even the headstock logo uses the material. The body, fretboard and headstock are white bound, setting of the woods and purfling perfectly. Open-gear Grover tuners provide solid and accurate tuning, and are finished in gold to complete the classy look.
