2001 Eichelbaum GC - Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar
From David Eichelbaum: Design elements such as the 25.7" scale length, 1- 3/4" Nut spacing, deep soundbox & heavily arched back, and the sleek neck profile all work together to facilitate ease of playing and ergonomic comfort during complex musical passages. The Grand Concert is especially in its element with dropped and altered tunings

Player Reviews:
"This guitar is very rich, warm and inviting. It's a beautiful fingerstyle guitar with great clarity and round bass notes. The trebles are full and strong and balanced well against the bass. The combination of Madagascar rosewood and Adirondack work very well to provide a complete voice" - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great guitar for those of us that play in lower tunings. The extra scale length gives it the tension necessary to go there" - Al Petteway
