Small-bodied acoustic blues guitar

This guitar is a replica of a small-bodied Washburn dating from the turn of the century. It is constructed with a fine-grained spruce table; the back and ribs are in maple; the neck is mahogany and the fingerboard is ebony. The guitar is very lightly braced and has a delightful and very delicate tone ideally suited to acoustic blues playing.
