Mitchell Francis, Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar (STUDENT 2021)
Simple design language whilst maintaining a strong visual appeal was a large part in the planning and construction of the instrument. Referencing the plans I purchased from GenOneLuthierSupply, I used Ebony bindings to complement the striking Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras back and sides and Sitka spruce top to achieve a simple and elegant design.
