A brand spanking new 00 from the one and only Julian Gaffney. Julian’s guitars have always been showstoppers here at the shop. His meticulous attention to detail and artistry is undeniable. The use of dyed burl as inlay material really sets Julian apart from other modern luthiers. Dramatic Cocobolo for the back and sides, and Swiss Spruce on top. This instrument has a robust sound and feel to it, with wide specs for the nut to allow for the most optimal left-hand access to all the pitches one could create with this creature. Brazilian Rosewood for the bridge and bridge pins.
Once again, this is an area in which Julian Gaffney shines. In our world, the headstock profile and bridge design are quite literally a builder’s calling cards. Here, Julian shows he is among the most unique and easily distinguished in the world of modern lutherie. It doesn’t stop with aesthetics. Most new guitars, quite frankly, sound new—they haven’t existed out in the world enough to be seasoned and they need breaking in. This beast, however, does not. Out of the case, this instrument sings. Full-bodied sound, significantly outpacing its size in volume. This guitar is a complete experience for both player and listener alike.

Bravo, Julian! Each Gaffney guitar I have played has a special character to it, and this one certainly has one all its own. The highest quality of craftsmanship, the fit and finish of this guitar floor me, and the sound leaves me speechless... which is no small feat! 
Julian spec'd this one custom for his client with a wider fingerboard and satin neck--both of which feel effortless and slinky in hand. I continue to be impressed by the depth and dynamic range that Julian coaxes out of his 00 builds. In this regard, his guitar punches above its weight class, and to top it all off Julian outdoes himself with elegant appointments along the fingerboard and headstock. | Scale Length | 25 in |
