Another client commission gone right! Our friend Kevin Kopp worked with us to pull off a custom RJ (Robert Johnson) model for one of our clients, and we couldn’t be more impressed by the results. Petite but curvaceous, with a voice to match. The voice is characterized by a roundness and warmth that quickly fires out of the soundhole; even balance across the registers for fingerpicking goodness. We picked out one of our personal sets of Brazilian Rosewood and sent it to Kevin for the build, which he paired with European Spruce on top and a period correct sunburst, Maple bindings, and Waverly tuners. The short scale, 24 3/4” fingerboard joins the body at the 12th fret, activating the top for added warmth and playability, and the medium-thick C neck profile feels instantly familiar and easy in hand.
