10 string guitarmade for a client of Michael L. Elwell

About this item

Approximately $8,000 - $10,000

This guitar was built to play high renaissance music from around 1580 to 1620 including Dowland. This guitar was made for a Master Guitarist and lutenist. He wanted to play the music for ten course lute on a guitar. We kicked this idea around for a while before I started the project and came up with the combination of cypress back and sides and a lovely sitka spruce top. We went with a longer scale of 66cm. This guitar surpassed expectations to our delight. The clarity and separation of voices needed for this repertoire didn't disappoint and I can't begin to describe the resonance.

Dimensions

Scale of 66cm. The body is the same size as my Classical Guitars and the fret board looks like the landing deck of an aircraft carrier.
