Tom Doerr’s Solace model offers great volume and headroom, but without compromising on the ergonomics front at all. This 2008 Solace is just that: powerful, and effortless. Slim neck profile, Indian Rosewood body with Swiss Spruce top, K&K Pure Mini pickup–plus it’s opened up handsomely in the intervening years.

The Solace is a perfect size instrument for fingerstyle music, at once clear but also full and resonant. This one has beveled bindings all the way around so that it's very comfortable to hold. The voice is aged now and mature which is something only time can do. This is a good one. 
I love the quick fundamental of the bass response, especially in how well it pairs with a treble register that has some light, glassy overtones after the initial attack. Overall, very sweet indeed. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
