Carved top jazz guitars

One of these guitars has one F hole with parallel bracing, and one oval hole with X bracing. The woods are entirely conventional for such guitars: curly maple from North America, German spruce for the soundboards as well as ebony bindings and head veneers. The maple was specially imported for this project and conditioned for two years before Roger Bucknall started work. The soundboards are cut from cello soundboards. This project took eight years.
