Fret Abalone

US $20.00
Breedlove's AD25 SR Plus is a dreadnought that is bright, bassy and powerful as a result of the solid spruce top and solid rosewood back. The great resonance is also a result of the JLD bridge truss system, pinless bridge, and a small pick guard, which allows for a more resonant top.
The AD25 SR Plus has a soft cutaway, which allows easy access all the way up to the eighteenth fret, with the nineteenth and twentieth frets a short reach away, and thus is particularly well-suited for lead players. Because of the cutaway, the AD25/SR Plus has a slightly smaller soundbox than its cousin, the AD20/SR, Plus, which lacks a cutaway, and, as such, has a bit more volume when played unplugged. Yet, the AD25/SR, Plus, also has a Fishman Classic 4t pickup (includes a built-in tuner), whereas the AD20/SR, Plus comes without electronics.
Like all rosewood Breedloves, the bass is very piano-like, although this piano-like bass seems to come through much more with styles such as fingerpicking, fingerstyle, and crosspicking, and is a bit less noticeable when strumming. The mids and highs come through quite cleanly without being overshadowed by the bass.
Unlike many dreadnoughts, Breedlove's AD25/SR Plus [http://www.macnichol.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MGAM&Product_Code=AD25_SR_Plus&Category_Code=Dreadnought] has a pinless bridge, which presents an interesting aspect for flatpickers. For some, it's great to get the pins out of the way of their wrists. But for others who use the pins as an anchor point by barely touching them with their wrists , it will take a little bit of time to get used to the lack of pins. Other features include scalloped bracing, gold Grover tuners, abalone ellipse marker positions, abalone rosette and purfling.
Michael Stone owns MacNichol Guitars and Mandolins. He has played the guitar for nearly twenty years and is also a folk music researcher.

Abalone $81.25 Abalone (from Spanish Abuln)are small to very largesized edible sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Haliotidae and the genus Haliotis. Family Haliotidae has no subfamilies. Common names for abalones also include earshells, seaears and Venussears, as well as muttonfish or muttonshells in Australia, ormer in Jersey and Guernsey, perlemoen in South Africa and pua in New Zealand.There is only the one genus in the family Haliotidae, and about four to seven subgenera. The number of species recognized worldwide is about 100.The shells of abalones have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shells outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre or motherofpearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, which make the shells attractive to humans as decorative objects, and as a source of colorful motherofpearl.

Recording King Studio Series 12 Fret OO Acoustic Guitar Natural $949.99 The Recording King Studio Series 12 Fret OO Acoustic Guitar was developed in collaboration with guitarist and historian Eric Schoenberg. This guitar (model RP2-626) offers players the even frequency response, clarity and wider neck traditional to a classic parlor style. The one-piece mahogany neck with a classic v-profile meets the body at the 12-fret with a hand cut dovetail joint, giving these guitars a true small body sound, warm and rich, but perfectly balanced. The solid AAA Engelmann spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides have been carefully selected and hand-assembled. With a 1-3/4" nut width, Grover tuners, ebony fretboard and ebony pyramid bridge, the OO guitars are as well-appointed and unique as they are beautiful. Each guitar is sprayed with a thin coat of nitrocellulose lacquer and then hand-buffed for a finish that is extremely resonant and historically accurate. The RP2-626 model has Recording King's lifetime warranty.The size of guitars in this Studio Series are designated by the number of "O"s in their name. Starting with a single "O" for the smallest size and increasing to "OOO" for the largest.More about the collaboration:Eric Schoenberg's influence on guitar marries traditional fingerstyle playing to classic ragtime and walking basslines. His Fingerpicking Beatles book is considered an essential text for modern fingerstyle players (see our sku# 904086). Mr. Schoenberg prefers the 12-fret neck joint as it gives the guitars a gutsier voice.Recording King Studio guitars illustrate the relentless pursuit of classic tone. No element has been overlooked in assembling one of the best sounding 12-Fret guitars available.Each guitar is built with lighter bracing for more resonance, and the ebony pyramid bridge helps enable greater vibration from the hand-selected tops.The Nitrocellulose lacquer finish is dried for 8 weeks in order to insure that the lacquer is properly bonded to the wood. Both the gloss and matte finishes allow the guitars to sing powerfully and clearly.Recording King has built the ultimate in small-body guitars for the discerning player who is looking for supreme sound quality and excellence in construction.Model: RP2-626Body Shape: OO (RP2)Top Material: Solid AAA Englemann SpruceBack Material: Solid African MahoganySide Material: Solid African MahoganyTop Bracing Pattern: Fully Scalloped X-BracingTop Braces: Scalloped SpruceNeck Material: 1 Piece MahoganyNeck Profile: Schoenberg "V"Neck Joint: Hand-Cut DovetailFretboard Material: EbonyScale Length: 25.4"# Of Frets Clear: 12# Of Frets Total: 20Nut Material: BoneNut Width: 1-3/4"Headstock Type: Recording King Special LogoHeadstock Overlay: RosewoodTuning Machines: Grover ButterbeanBody Binding: Grained IvoroidRosette: 3-RingTop Purfling: 5-Ply B/W/B/W/BFretboard Inlays: Diamond And Square, Pattern 1Bridge Material: EbonyBridge Shape: Pyramid StyleSaddle: Bone BridgePins & Endpin: Black with Abalone DotFinish: Hand-Buffed Nitrocellulose |

Recording King Century Series ROS-647 12th Fret OOO Acoustic Guitar Natural $1049.99 The Recording King ROS-647 Acoustic Guitar is perfect for fingerpickers who want amazing looks as well as amazing sounds. The body is crafted from hand-selected solid East Indian rosewood for deep mid and low presence, while the OOO-sized guitar's solid AA Sitka spruce top offers balanced tone and excellent projection.The ROS-647 guitar's neckhewn from a single piece of mahoganyjoins the body at the 12th fret. Recording King adds hand-inlaid abalone purfling to the Century Series guitar's body and rosette for a luxurious appearance. Fully-scalloped bracing enhances the guitar's projection and clarity. The ebony fretboard offers strength, crisp tone, and a highly desirable look. Other notable appointments include a slotted rosewood headstock, Grover butterbean tuners, bone saddle and nut, ivory and ebony dot bridge pins, a pyramid bridge, and a natural finish.The classic 1920's design of the 12th Fret 000 ROS-647 is the link between classical guitars and modern steel string models. Very lightweight, but carefully braced for tonal warmth, the 12th fret 000 has earned a well-deserved spot in the pantheon of great-sounding guitar shapes. The guitar's combination of the 12th fret neck joint and the resulting altered bridge creates a richer, mellower sound than many of today's brighter-sounding body shapes. Matching the rich tone and clear string separation typical of a classical guitar with the projection of a traditional steel string, the Recording King guitar's 12th fret shape gives guitarists the best of both worlds. |
