Hand crafted by Bill Roberts, this 00-12M is a gorgeous Mahogany backed guitar that looks great, sounds amazing, and plays even better! Bill is a Champaign-Urbana local who has taken up the laborious art of lutherie and continues to impress us here at The Upper Bout with his constantly improving quality of guitars! This gorgeous piece, a combination of a AAA torrefied Stika spruce (top) and mahogany (back and sides) body and a full mahogany neck, is one of his finest offerings yet, with a projection and voice that seems impossible for a guitar of it's size! The guitar is a comfortable 00 size, with a 24.75" scale length neck joined to the body at the 12th fret fitted with a supple and thin neck profile. For a fraction of the price and a superior quality to branded guitars, these are instruments that everybody should know about!
This is a BRAND NEW instrument! If you have any questions, feel free to drop by, shoot us a message, or give us a call!
As usual, this instrument has been meticulously inspected and set up by our professional in-house luthiers.
