This exquisite Custom 014 is a concert-sized (0-body) acoustic guitar built with premium tonewoods and elegant appointments. The Engelmann Spruce top, paired with wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivers a balanced, articulate tone with rich overtones. The hand-scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance, while the flamed mahogany neck (with a modified low oval profile) ensures effortless playability.

Appointments include black ebony binding, a custom three-ring rosette, and mother-of-pearl "Diamonds & Squares Long" fingerboard inlays. The gloss body/satin neck finish provides a refined look and feel, while Ratio tuning machines and a compensated bone saddle ensure precise tuning and intonation.

Built for discerning players, this guitar blends vintage-inspired design with modern craftsmanship for a truly exceptional instrument.
