NEW 2016 Gordon Guitars AJAT Cutom one off hand made arch top guitar

For more information about this guitar or any other hand made Gordon Guitars message [email protected] and look at others at www.gordonguitars.co.uk well I think you could say this is about as boutique as they come and probably my swan song Full bodied Arch Top Acoustic Guitar, so to the Guitar, So 6 months on the drawing board, then almost 4 months getting the timbers and another 8 months of scraping and shaping. This is a Pure Acoustic Jazz Guitar. When I was about 5 or 6 a Friend of min Frank Talbot (he was a great artist and musician from the Highlnads of Scotland. Apart from making great pictures he played a couple of guitar that I would have killed to own. One was a Hofner Congress and the other was a German guitar with a multi-laminate neck. But what stood out about the guitar was the construction of the front and the back of the guitar. Each were made from 3 pieces of solid wood laminated together and then carved to shape. So about 18 months ago I started doing research ans found a "Record" guitar, which was very similar to franks. So I set about sourcing the woods.The top was made from Spruce/Hondura Mahogany/Spruce. the sides are solid Maple. The back is made from maple/Hondura Mahogany/AAAA flamed maple. Rather than going for a multi laminate neck I went for my standard 3 piece, Maple and a centre of Hondura Mahogany. Unlike most Jazz Guitars I chose to go with a 24 Fret Indian Ebony Fingerboard. The front and Back of the guitar have been carved with deep sculpting in order to expose the layer of Hondura Mahogany. and by doing this carefully I was able to expose a 1cm wide band between the other two layers of wood The inside of the guitar is also sculpted to allow the wood to be thin enough to resonate well. The top has classic cross bracing to support the floating brigde. Ege binding is made from Mahogany/Ebony/Bleached Maple/Ebony/Bleached Maple/Ebony. This applies to all areas of the guitar with the exception of the Cats Eye Sound Holes which are bound with Ebony/Bleached Maple/Ebony. The bridge is carved Ebony as is the tail piece cover. The headstock Faceplate is Indian Ebony with my Logo inlaid in Mother of Pearl, the back of th headstock has a veneer of Maple. The Base of the headstock has a full Volute. I have also added a Zero Fret for improved action and intonation. It also gives the guitar better Mid and High tones. The guitar is 17" wide at the largest Bout. The side panels are 4" high and the front and back add a further 1.5 inches each giving the total depth of 7". so this is a Big bodied acoustic Jazz Guitar. This is a ONE OFF Large acoustic Jazz Guitar. I do have plans to make a 335 sized thin bodied guitar but like the last Deep bodied guitar I made this has taken way too much time out of my life. so what is a years worth of my work worth and the quality woods that were used in the making of this guitar????????????????? Please do not think of offering me a Cibson LP studio or a Cibson sheraton. I am open to cash offers (which I will only do in private) and the same applies to Swaps/PX/Trades. Note This is an EXPENSIVE Hand Made ONE OFF Guitar and with used Gordon Guitars of a much lesser build than this selling for upwards of £2,000, so I am willing to take Multi Trade to make up the value. The first set of Pictures show the finished Item followed by the construction of the guitar and the last two pictures show the Guitar without the solid maple pickguard attached. I have realised that I am too old and not as fit as I was so spending literally scraping and shaping the old fashioned way has just left me so tired so perhaps a few more guitars but probably solid bodies rather than a big arch top acoustic. I love to collect vintage and rare guitars as well as hand made guitar from other quality luthiers from around the world. This guitar will come with a new quality fitted hard case and will be securely packaged for shipping Kenn Gordon B.Mus Gordon Guitars UK can also be contacted direct on 01205359207 7:30am-9:00 pm GMT 7 days a week Shipping rates UK Mainland £30 (this is a large deep bodied guitar and shipping is set to cover the size and weight) Highlands and Islands £35 Rest of the EU £45 Rest of the world PLEASE ASK Images of the construction
