This Florentine Cutaway, Orchestra Model guitar features a Western Red Cedar top, Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides, Macassar Ebony fretboard and bridge, Port Orford Cedar neck, Gotoh 510 mini tuners in gold, and EVO gold fretwire, with an Ebony saddle and an Ebony nut with the end grain oriented up.
"Perfectly balanced with a very clear, articulate attack across the entire fingerboard. Overall, the instrument is exceptionally lightweight, especially at the neck end, owing in large part to the Port Orford Cedar neck. The neck stability is also exceptional because it has extra reinforcement in the form of Carbon fiber rods on the sides of the Truss rod.
This guitar has followed me to guitar shows and has been a favorite amongst the players at these shows for years. I never sold it despite the offers I received because I always wanted to have it for show purposes. Eventually, however, there comes a time to release your babies into the wild."

SHIPPING INFORMATION
The Luthier Bench advocates for a series of precautionary steps when shipping a guitar. We highly recommend that Sellers follow the following guidelines outlined in our Knowledge Base article: HOW TO SHIP A GUITAR. Important pointers like loosening the strings prior to shipping are detailed in the article.
Our shipping policy is straightforward - every domestic shipment from a USA-based Luthier to a USA-located Buyer will be charged a $150 flat fee, including $5,000 of comprehensive shipping and purchase insurance. For international shipments, our platform charges a flat fee of $350 for shipments originating in the USA to any EU address ($450 from EU workshop to USA Buyer and $250 from EU Workshop to EU Buyer), also including $5,000 of shipping and purchase insurance. After purchasing a guitar build on our platform, our logistics team will directly reach out to the Buyer to: (1) confirm the transaction; (2) offer Buyer an array of shipping alternatives; and (3) determine desired insurance level coverage.
