Classical guitar back French polishing the top Classical guitar front

This guitar is specially designed for a person over 6 feet tall.  The body is wider than average, making it more comfortable for a large person to hold.  A wide neck provides room between the strings for large fingers.  The top is Engelmann spruce, the back and sides are Bubinga, and the neck is Spanish cedar.  The top uses a modified Bouchet bracing pattern which gives it a powerful bass and good projection without sacrificing clarity.  The back has an X brace instead of the usual ladder bracing.  It has a 650 mm scale length ebony fretboard with a bone nut and saddle.  The top is French polished and the rest of the instrument is finished with environmentally friendly water based lacquer.
