Kevin Caton’s just sent us another gorgeous Sullivan dressed up with a sultry set of Malaysian Blackwood for the back and sides, paired with German Spruce on top. This build also highlights his bespoke Bevel Port, which both looks fantastic and helps out in both the ergonomics and what-do-I-actually-sound-like categories. On top, an arm bevel plus florentine cutaway.

This Sullivan model really fills the niche of a well-rounded instrument for all occasions. I feel like I can drive it fairly hard without it maxing out, and it's still sensitive enough for light fingerstyle as well. Kevin's innovatine bevel port both looks beautiful and helps keep you dialed in to your sound. 
Kevin's soundport bevel design elegantly buttons up two concerns for the modern pllayer: ergononics and the ability to hear yourself in a crowded room. His Sullivan model clocks in with a 15.25" lower bout, giving you that sweet spot of midsize body with a fully fleshed voice. Strong trebles stand out in the mix, with some sweet separation and clarity across the registers overall. I also appreciate the snap/pop of the fundamental, gives the voice a quick energy. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
