This Stage 100 Cutaway was built for a great guitar player who is strong in the R&B, Jazz and Blues /Roots genres. It has great chord voicing all over the neck and fine penetrating treble single notes. The Alaskan spruce top has strong bearclaw and the Indian Rosewood back and sides are the finest straight-grained wood.  You can see a picture of the back below. The finish is French Polished Kusmi Golden Seedlac which I prepare from raw granules imported from Bengal.
