Brian Cohen, 2012. 000-42 Eric Clapton model style 'acoustic guitar' steel string.
This guitar was made during 2012 specially for the Oscar winning documentary film, 'Searching for Sugarman': While Sugarman never played one of my guitars, as far as I know, there was also a documentary made by the same film makers on detailed background, and the guitar was commissioned by them to support this. It does appear in this support documentary. In 'as new' condition, and sold with my 'lifetime warrantee'. The wood used for the body is commonly known as Guixava, (or 'Micropholus Gardnerianum' for the scholarly) and is akin to a maple in tonal qualities and working qualities- it has a natural beautiful cinnamon hue, and is a fine tonewood to use for guitars.The table is made of matured European spruce, while the neck is of mahogany, with the original type Martin V join with internal tongue. Very difficult to cut and fit, but very strong when executed well. Triangular neck section akin to early Martin guitars Tuners are Sperzel, USA. Edge bindings in slab cut lacewood, with a unique handmade mosaic rosette. The guitar does not yet have a tap plate, and this will be fitted to client taste when sold, ditto endpin. An internal pickup could be fitted as well. An internally adjustable double truss rod is fitted, and fret markers can be fitted if required at no extra cost. Internally it is the typical 'X' brace system but tweaked with benefit of extensive knowledge I put to work in my classical guitars, of which over 500 examples have been made to date. This renders the basses very round and sweet, with an even balanced tone right the way up the fingerboard. Currently set up with light gauge strings. Bridge pins in white, with m.o.p. dots. Clear rich tone, with exceptional note separation and good projection.
