Philip Woodfield Moore

• Year:

  2012 - number 314

• Body:

  Malaysian blackwood - beautiful timber with dark and interesting grain stripes. The sides are lined with maple. The Grand Concert II is distinguished by having a dropped body on the upper treble side to give a similar effect as an elevated fingerboard for improved access to the the area above the 12th fret. See photos.

• Front:

  European spruce. Lattice construction to provide power and loudness. Dark and dramatic purflings enclosed by near-black bindings frame the front of the instrument very effectively. The rosette has a Romanesque vine motif which is also carried into the bridge tie-block.

  Rodgers pattern L315 with engraved, brass sideplates and ebony buttons.

• Scale:

  65cm. With black 20th fret.

• Neck Width:

  52mm at the nut

• Weight:

  1734 grams

• Condition:

  New. All shellac french-polished.

• Comments:

  This is the top of the Philip Woodfield range of concert guitars designed with power and volume in mind for the professional or ensemble player, giving a rich, full yet clear sound. Players such as Raymond Burley speak very highly about the volume, balance and sustain of the lattice-fronted Grand Concert models.
  These are certainly strong instruments with a pleasing, near-traditional sound; much more so than most lattice guitars. They also respond well when played softly and sensitively. All together an impressive concert guitar with fine materials and striking appearance.
