Small Scale Guitars (Handbuilt)
A few years ago I built a pair of matching 3/4 scale guitars (scale length 600mm). Using my regular construction methods and a little math, they turned out much, much more responsive than a typical small scale guitar. When I was experimenting with some new carbon fibre weaves in 2024 I realized I finally had the right materials needed to replace the wooden top with CF - the math worked out perfectly.
