Christine Lavin with her Mid-size.
Steel String
I build 3 different models:
The SMALL version is almost as small as a standard classical guitar and comes exclusively with a 12 fret neck joint.
The MID-SIZE version is almost as big as a dreadnought in the widths of the upper and lower bouts but not as deep, and with more rounded lines.
The SEMI-JUMBO version is the same depth as the mid-size but larger in the other dimensions. The lower bout is 16 5/8 inches wide and somewhat more rounded.
SCALE LENGTH: 650 mm (25.6 inches)
What I got exceeded my expectations… it’s great for lead work, for rhythm, and the armrest will add years to my playing…
