SAGE

New Tradition

	The Sage is my 'contemporary' design for nylon strings. And yes, I will also build more 'traditional' designs if desired. This bracing pattern features a modified Torres pattern, with a flying buttress brace below the soundhole (see photo below). This modification allows the outer tone bars to pass into the upper bought, thus enhancing the transmission of vibrations into the upper bought. The result, a more dynamic instrument. Total length 19.09 Upper Bought 11.13 Lower Bought 14.50 Depth 3.56 to 3.38 Prices start at $4,000
This particular instrument features: a master grade cedar top pre-CITES Convention Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) with documentation bolt in mahogany neck (for ease of future adjustment) with graphite support rods and an ebony fingerboard turquoise rosette and tie block in an ebony bridge optional 'monitor' hole on the bass side of the upper bought, for improved projection towards the player.
