Description: This is a 2018 Allan Humphrey Steel String Guitar from my personal collection. This instrument was developed out of one of my Classical models I was building at the time. I found that it could be configured as a 14 fret to the body Steel String and everything lined up surprisingly well. I incorporated a number of design/build details from my classical guitars (i.e. slotted headstock, raised fingerboard). As for the back and sides, this wood was completely unknown to me. It is sometimes marketed as "Brazilian Hickory" and is often used for high-end flooring. I found it to be very similar to Ziricote, both in appearance and workability. The black/tan color and figure are to die for. Too bad this wood is not more widely available. The instrument has seen very little use, but does have a few scratches here and there. A quick rundown of the details appears below.Please be sure to read the entire listing before purchasing. If you have any questions or require additional information, please ask.
