Beautiful Tim May baritone oval hole archtop finished in a rich violin burst, built with a European spruce top & stunning tiger stripe maple back. This is a boutique handbuilt instrument with a warm, open acoustic voice, elegant archtop character & the added depth of a baritone scale.
The oval soundhole gives it a very clean, old-world look, sitting somewhere between a carved archtop, parlor guitar & custom baritone acoustic. The European spruce top keeps the response clear & articulate, while the figured maple back adds projection, snap & a gorgeous visual depth under the gloss finish.
Features include a hand carved body, ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge, ebony tailpiece, bound body, violin burst finish & Gotoh tuners. The craftsmanship is refined without feeling overly flashy. It has that boutique luthier feel where every detail looks intentional.
Tonally, this is deep, warm & expressive with a lot of natural resonance. Perfect for fingerstyle, jazz voicings, alternate tunings, cinematic writing, baritone acoustic work or anyone looking for something far more unique than a standard production acoustic.
