PRODUCT DETAILS

Dearnaley Dearnaley Model 1 Brazilian Edition Acoustic 2022

The Cardiff master luthier is back again with another stellar iteration of his Model 1 guitars.
This guitar features Brazillian Rosewood back and sides with an Alpine Spruce top and a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard.
It has a lovely rich tone and a very pronounced sound thanks to its smaller body but with immense clarity through the quality of the materials and Dave's own bracing pattern. The hand-finished top bracing is crafted from 300-year-old Spruce.
The Dearnaley acoustics feature a "cylinder built" body and a build utilizing very old hand-selected re-claimed timbers.
The tuned cedar top combined with Dave's own "X" hand-carved bracing offers the player a wonderful balanced and loud acoustic tone (mahogany braces on the back, and spruce on the top) This pattern was designed specifically for his unique body style which he describes as a scaled-up and deepened Parlour (the lower bout measures 15" across) Its comfortable in your lap and feels and sits "just right"

His decades of guitar building and attention to the intonation of each instrument makes this a formidable acoustic guitar. Note the angle of the headstock, the hand-carved chunky three-piece mahogany neck, the Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, its all pure class.

The neck is affixed with the Somogyi doweled tenon method rather than a Martin style dovetail joint. And then you have traditionally applied nitro cellulose "old school no plastic" lacquer finish, This guitar is fitted with Dave preferred Robson machine heads. The aged sunburst is magnificent. Obviously, the top nut and saddle are hand-carved bone and the bridge plate, a new design for this guitar, is a masterpiece and again, all done by hand by one man in his workshop.

Although new, these are hand-crafted instruments from re-reclaimed timbers and as such there are small imperfections in the timber that add to the character of these guitars.

A must-try for all acoustic players looking for some finger pickin' goodness.

Mint condition, just set up by Dave himself and sold with a Hiscox hard case. Note we cannot export this guitar.
