This guitar features a premium English Walnut back and sides with an Alpine Spruce top and a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dearnaley acoustics feature a \"cylinder built\" body and a build utilizing very old hand-selected re-claimed timbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\"  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis decades of guitar building and attention to each instruments intonation makes this a formidable acoustic guitar.
