Old Growth Red Cedar and Crelicam Ebony

The first instrument of the Maker's Choice was conceived with fingerstyle playing in mind. Its Old Growth Red Cedar top, selected by Aaron Fenech many years ago, offers a warmth and openness rarely found in modern material. Individually optimised bracing allows the soundboard to respond freely, producing a rich and complex tonal character.

The back features a mirrored set of Crelicam Ebony resembling angel wings, framed by Indian Rosewood bindings. A twisted rope detail travels around the body and into the rosette, tying the visual design together. Ebony components, a one-piece Mahogany neck, and open-gear Grover machine heads maintain a balance between refinement and vintage character. A thin nitrocellulose satin finish allows the instrument to resonate naturally while feeling effortless in the hands.
