Number 83

This is a flat top bouzouki with curly maple body and black Sitka spruce top. It has a guitar-like scale length and is strung with octave pairs for the low (G and D) courses. The flat top gives a rich, thick tone which is complemented by the zing of the high octave strings.

Construction features include the usual user-friendly bolt-on neck and parallel-bar bracing of the top to withstand the downward pressure of the bridge. The neck has a modern 2-way adjustable truss rod.

Appointments include curly maple finger rest, bridge and tail piece. Gotoh mini tuners with small plastic buttons provide easy tuning and light weight. A heavy cast tailpiece adds sustain.

Decoration includes Celtic knot inlays on headstock, fingerboard and heel. A black top displays the rich curly maple appointments, with gold tuners and rosewood bindings completing the look. The finish is buffed gloss KTM-9 water based lacquer.

This is a great instrument for Celtic music, or to accompany singing.
