DESCRIPTION:
This Bruce West Classical guitar, built during 2015 in Sterling, Ontario features a Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood sides and back with a Varnish finish. It is in overall very good condition with light wear from normal use./p>
For the back this Bruce West Classical uses a spectacular 3-piece Brazilian Rosewood set, with other sections of the same wood for the sides, head plate and bridge. The body blocks and neck are Mahogany and the fingerboard is Ebony.
The finish on this guitar, like most others Bruce West builds, is hand-applied violin varnish. The bridge uses a 12-hole tie block, which makes re-stringing easier and improves downbearing on the saddle.
A brown arched top hard shell case is included.
Bruce West has been involved in musical instrument building for most of his life, starting at age 12 with a bench at Geo. Heinl’s workshop in Toronto. In his teens he also played guitar for Ronny Hawkins! Friends with Jean Larrivee, Bruce built relationships with all the now-prominent builders who went through the Larrivee Toronto shops. He was also friends and partners in some wood ventures with Darryl Williams, who specialized in baroque instruments and classical guitars. I worked with Darryl William for some years prior to The Twelfth Fret and met Bruce several times.
