More tunings than you can shake a multiscale fretboard at—well, maybe that’s the solution. We’ve got a lovely multiscale custom Brescia from David Taylor with an impressive resumé: multiscale board, soundport, pinless bridge, Ryan-style arm bevel, Venetian Cutaway. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with Carpathian Spruce on top, trimmed in Rosewood and voiced for the wayward tuning fingerstylist.
From slightly longer-than-average on the bass (25 5/8”) to a trim 25” treble string, this Brescia is a blast in dropped tunings, but has a subtle rake to the frets that makes it easy to stretch your hands for that big-voiced chord. David was able to keep the overall weight very low, considering the extra neck mass and body dimensions (16” at the lower bout), and that translates into a response that’s crisp and leaps off the strings. This is an excellent opportunity for a custom multiscale guitar that won’t break the bank but might break the mold when you first string it up.
This guitar was custom-built for a longtime friend of the shop who has great taste and knowledge of guitars. He chose dark Brazilian Rosewood and key features such as the multiscale design, soundport, and wider fingerboard. A joy to behold. The multiscale allows for a multitude of tunings and also some ergonomic benefit as well. The voice of this one has the magic: nice and smooth, balanced from bass to treble, and this one speaks all the way up the fingerboard. Here’s your chance for a custom multiscale Brescia! - Accessories
