Our 2003 Sheppard is lively, opened up, and raring to go. Gerald decked this beau out with his cream of the crop, Ave Maria appointment package over an Indian Rosewood and Cedar body with Mahogany neck and Fossilized Mammoth nut/saddle. Long scale fretboard, 1.75” nut, and an easy playability that lends itself equally well to flatpicks as fingertips. We love how the trebles really leap out of the soundhole; overall, this Sheppard has opened up handsomely and packs a punch. Gerald’s Grand Auditorium proportions lend a boost to the bass and the projection without making the guitar too big: this one’s easy from tuners to tailblock.
