Personal Selection Brazilian Rosewood Ariel for Sale

This is the guitar that Peter Price is playing in the Ullapool video at the beginning of this newsletter

I’ve featured the wood used in this guitar several times while we’ve been making it.

The Rosewood is unusual, and now that it has been lacquered and polished, everybody who saw it at Ullapool, including other makers, agreed that it is quite beautiful.

The soundboard is exceptionally fine-grained Austrian Spruce, with a gentle figure.

The bindings and head veneer are Ebony with red borders. Marquetry purflings, 46mm neck with Gotoh 510 tuners.

An exceptional instrument that should command the highest price, but I know the market in the UK  is restricted at the moment, and we made this guitar at least partly for our own purposes, to find out how the wood looked and  sounded.

So I think its a massive bargain at £5900
