For a regular customer who is slowly working his way through most combinations of body style and number of strings.

It's based on an Alchemist body, but made from Rosewood, with a Spruce soundboard because of the extra tension and Curly Koa bindings for a bit of bling. The 12-fret neck join is almost compulsory on such instruments, it helps me obtain the extra leverage to counter the string tension and of course, the cutaway compensates for the decreased access.
