The Woodsman 00 model has a strong vintage influence. The design, the techniques and materials harken back to the traditional sensibilities of the 1800's. If it looks old, it's because it is old. Made using traditional methods and designed with woods harvested over 100
years ago.
This deep bodied 00 comes alive under its non-dampening traditional finish of egg white, button shellac and grain alcohol. It has a true bird's mouth headstock joint and a ladder braced back. Braces are hand split for optimum performance.
The elegant styling of the Woodsman has an understated beauty. The design is all about the art of the guitar not art on the guitar.
Response is fast and dynamic. The Woodsman has strong fundamentals with strong midrange overtones providing for an overall full and rich tonal presence. This very lightweight guitar is a pleasure to play.
