• This uniquely-small body acoustic guitar, with complex arching, tone bars, and flat back is something altogether different, from its origin story found in those 000-sized archtops, made in Nazareth in the 1930s. Just enough guts to produce a big sound with the elegance to accommodate the comfort we all strive for in an instrument.

    The exact appearance of this item may vary.
