Nigel Forster packs more into his instruments than you can shake a pick at. Here we’ve landed a brand new Guitar Bouzouki from him that is set up for extended range, playability, and power. Sweetly figured Bubinga back and sides pair with a European Spruce top that’s been engineered in the Howe Orme cylinder style–meaning the center section of top is cylindrically arched. The result is a very stiff top at about 40% the usual mass, and lighter makes louder in this case. Add to that the extended range afforded to a course of low C on the bottom of the 10 string setup, and you have an instrument for just about every application. Nigel further enhanced playability with a cutaway, subtle arm bevel, EVO frets, and a zero fret nut.

Nigel Forster knows the cittern family of instruments better than most. His years with Stefan Sobell made sure of that. I've known Nigel a long time and he's been here to our shop as well. If you're serious player looking for a world class bouzouki this one's for you. 
Color me excited! I love Nigel's work, and am such a fan of his guitar-bodied bouzoukis in particular. All the ease of play and definition of a flattop guitar in an Irish bouzouki package. | Scale Length | 24.625 in |
