Jaime Garcia F-Hole Tenor Guitar
Size: 32"l x 7"w x 2"h George, our Luthier, created a beautifully understated Tenor guitar using a vintage Jaime Garcia box, a repurposed/recycled Camarou carved neck with a highly-figured Curly Maple fretboard and pearloid fret markers. Our new design incorporates neck-through construction adding stability to the entire instrument while creating a semi-hollowbody sound. Hand-cut F-holes on either side of the neck allow the two sound chambers to breathe acoustically and the piezo transducer pickup adds the amplified option for the player.
