Very straight-grained Indian rosewood with Australian jarrah centre strip and bindings with boxwood purflings.
European spruce with small amounts of bearclaw showing. Attractive rosette and rosewood bridge.
Rubner with synthetic ivory buttons
654mm. 19 frets on ebony fingerboard.
50 mm at the nut - helpful for smaller hands. 41 mm string spacing.
In very good condition without any repairs, cracks or repolishing. Carefully looked after by previous owner- minor playing marks only.
As with all Rik Middleton classical guitars, this has a finely-applied lacquer finish.
Rik Middleton's instruments are precisely-crafted and with much thought in the process. The curves and cambers of the fingerboard and frets for example are very precisely done, aiming for ultimate playability. The sound is very classical with good balance, a rounded, sustaining middle and treble and a depth of bass that originates from the G body resonance. These are beautifully-crafted guitars representing very good value-for-money.
