Go BackKevin Aram of North Devon
- Year:
2007 - completed September / October.
- Body:
Very beautiful, old rosewood / pau ferro with lovely contrasting purfling and maple bindings. The back and sides have an oil finish; like the whole of the guitar.
This is the larger of two models with a 365mm wide bottom bout.
The head is attached to the neck with a Vee-joint. - Front:
European spruce with a very attractive geometric rosette. Oil finished.
- Tuners:
David Rodgers with engraved brass sideplates and white mother-of-pearl buttons
- Scale:
65cm
- Neck Width:
52mm
- Condition:
Near mint. There is a faint string mark - very shallow and not easily noticed - by the 1st string, in an otherwise near-perfect condition front. I can find just a couple of other faint marks. The back, sides, back of neck, head and tuners are virtually as new.

Comments:
Kevin Aram guitars have much of Torres in their design and are therefore of a very traditional and beautiful sound character. Using very high quality materials and made with great skill and passion, Kevin Aram produces fine instruments that appeal to guitarists appreciating traditional guitar-making and sounds of the early great master makers. This particular guitar has very good balance, a deep bass voice and clarity throughout. With a bigger sound than some Arams I have played, this has yet to fully open up having only been played lightly since new. In summary, a lovely instrument that is very enjoyable to play.
