..Hear this guitar

It is very difficult having to sell such an outstanding instrument. Every piece of wood contributed to the creation of an outstanding tone, with BIG powerful sound that you can appreciate fully in the clip www.nitsugamangore.com/brazilain-rsewoood-concert-guitar-march-10-2008.html.
The basses ring majestically and the player feels that there is no limit to the power available. I used a gorgeous 39 years old set of Brazilian rosewood from the Bahia (North Eastern Brazil area) for the back and sides. The Western redcedar top adds punch and a quick response. The sound is malleable and the vibratos are simply SPECTACULAR.  Beautiful chocolate brown background grain topped by some multi colored striping. Playing on the 640mm ebony fingerboard is easy and a lot of fun. I used Thai Amboina burl for the headplate and armrest, Macassar ebony for the bridge and fingerboard, Maple for the under headplate,  African Padauk for the linings.
Regarding 650mm or 640 mm guitar construction, keep the following rule at hand: If the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your little finger is equal or less than 9 in. when fully stretched, use 640 mm. (image below). In over 30 years teaching the classical guitar, I have realized that  most players use the wrong scale. This translates in frustration when the player has to reach elusive notes or make big stretches.
