2009 NKForster Guitars Model C - Acoustic Guitar

Here's our latest arrival from ex-Sobell phenom Nigel Forster. This model C cutaway is crafted from Panamanian Rosewood and Italian Spruce that Nigel hand selected in Italy. The design of this guitar is a shallow body that taper at the outer edges making it very easy to hold. But there is surprising bass response for it's depth and wonderful projection both in front and as the player, thanks to the side soundport. The radiused top and back design also makes this a guitar with superb separation and clarity. If you seek a European voice (think Simpson, Renbourn, Carroll, etc.) this may be your guitar.Here's what Nigel says about Panamanian Rosewood: Panamanian Rosewood is quite scarce but is one of the few timbers touted as a Rio substitute that comes close. In fact it comes very close in weight and texture and taptone. It differs mainly in appearance and smell where it has more in common with Cocobolo. It is more stable than many Rosewoods. Great stuff.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Nigel has found a way to make this guitar very comfortable and ergonomic but without sacrificing bass response. The Italian top is lovely and add power and clarity, There is a side soundport for the player and this one fills the room when driven. Beautifully crafted, hand-made, well-made." - Paul Heumiller

"Beautifull built and easy to play. Nigel's guitars have a distinct sound and great clarity." - Al Petteway
