- Description
-
A powerhouse. This like new, 2018 Redgate Double Top is an absolute powerhouse, with elegance and musicality to match. The trebles have a strong and vigorous profile that really leaps out of the soundhole, but balances sweetly with the rest of the voice. Ziricote back and sides are here paired with a Cedar double top, Spanish Cedar neck, and an intricate mosaic knot rosette. Jim finished the neck and body with glossy Lacquer, and elected to French Polish the top to a maximally thin matte finish to keep the top plate as resonant as possible—a feat he accomplishes handily here. The entire instrument weighs a slim 3lbs 10oz, has a medium thickness U neck profile, and a 12-hole tieblock.

Simply one of the world's finest guitars. Strong and explosive notes, that are also gentle when asked to be. There are many colors to be found in this instrument. Right hand technique will reward the player with a full pallet of musical emotion. Lovely in every way.
