This guitar was commissioned by my friend Byron Lemay, who wanted a nylon-string guitar but "something unusual". So I made him an archtop guitar with nylon strings. Body is maple and top is Sitka spruce. Construction, as you might expect, is very light. The top is braced with one long diagonal brace with three very small cross-braces.

Sound is good and evenly balanced.

Decoration includes trim and appointments of camatillo rosewood (dalbergia congestiflora), a beautiful purple rosewood from Central America. It has such wonderful color that anything else would be superfluous.
