2008 Australian Litchfield C600 Concert Classical Guitar - Cedar top, Rosewood

Location:

Hayward, WI

Description:

Australian luthier Litchfield Classical Guitar - Model C600 with cedar top and Indian Rosewood back & sides. Guitar was $8k new-selling because I can no longer play. Guitar is used with string ding by bridge and very small slight fingernail marks under sound hole. Tried to highlight ding on picture. Otherwise, the guitar is excellent - see pics. This was my fifth handmade concert classical and by far the most superior guitar in my opinion. Outstanding projection due to the 'new Australian construction method-very thin top excellently braced'. Shipping is via FedEx ground.Specifications per builder: Scale length 650, String height @ 12th fret – 1st string2.5-3.0, String height @ 12th fret – 6th string4.5, String width @ nut 45String width @ saddle 57.5 Neck width @ nut 53-54C600 Neck/body joint - Spanish construction; with a complete“Through” neck, foot and heel to the sound hole. This is to minimize energy loss, tonal deadspots, unwanted overtones and vibration while allowing maximum rigidity forsustain, evenness and projection and depth. Neck – The “through” neck, foot and heel provides a solidgrounding for fingering above the 12th fret, which assists inevenness and depth. There is a low headangle to assist the feeling of lower string tension, and also produces lessfriction, less string breakage, and easier tuning. Back & Sides - Modern thickness and bracing plus rigidlinings. This combination produces aclean, pure tone and heightens traits like sustain, evenness, projection anddepth. 4 transverse braces with spine,two piece back and sides. Top - Light “traditional” top with carbon composites. Strutting is modified fan bracing. This system was developed to produce afamiliar traditional tone and (improved) response while creating a guitar withgreat dynamics such as volume and sustain. Bridge - Laminated timber with some carbon inserts. I use a more structurally efficient timberthan typical rosewood to minimize weight and maximize strength. The modern scalloped design works in tandemwith strutting under the top, and features 12 holes as standard. Fingerboard – I use Ebonies, which are slotted with amachine using CNC drilled templates much more accurate than a human eye cansee. Finish – Meticulously applied Nitrocellulose lacquerprovides the ultimate combination of clarity, serviceability, durability andflexibility. A matt finish on the topsallows absolutely minimal thickness for sound, while the glass-like polish onthe body shows the high-grade materials for the feature they are. Tone – The C600 tone is characterized with brightness,separation, clarity and a cool depth and silkiness. As with all Litchfield guitars they have outstandingvolume, playability, touch, and sustain. Opinion of the Luthier - The response is strong andeven. The player feels invited to lingerupon the note, as its tonal characteristics are mated to the dynamics of theguitar. Overtones, depth, touch andcontrol, rise and fall during the length of the note. This is a different kind of pattern to a verytraditional guitar, which has a richness that is more “static” and not as “clean”.Neck width @ 12th fret 62-63 Back and sides East Indian RosewoodTop Cedar Case - Hiscox Lite Flite Case Machine heads – Gotoh 35G510P
