Here we’ve landed a quite played in, and quite wide awake, Crossover Classical with cutaway from two powerhouse Australian luthiers SImon Marty and Robin Moyes in a rare collaboration for virtuoso Slava Grigoryan. Indian Rosewood body with Spruce top, 650mm scale, and the aforementioned cutaway for easy access to the topmost frets. The pickup system combines an L.R. Baggs Anthem SL with an additional internal microphone, and the result is incredible plugged in. This was Grigoryan’s touring guitar for a number of years, and it’s got the marks to prove it–and we’re happy to report that all that playtime has rendered the voice wide, wide open.
