John Peter Barthell

Classical Guitar #149

Brand New - Showroom Condition

Cedar and Indian Rosewood Classical Guitar

Smooth playing, sweet and vibrant sounding instrument impeccably crafted by Pete Barthell

Model	Barthell Original Model #149
Condition	Brand New - Showroom Condition
Scale	650 mm. - Gilbert Spacing for compensation (about 2.5mm)
Porthole	1 on the upper bout side - see photos
Nut	52mm wide
String Spacing	43mm
Bridge Spacing	58mm
Strings	D'Addario EJ46 - high tension
Top	Master Grade Western Red Cedar - a favorite amongst luthiers and players.
Sides/Back	East Indian Rosewood - note that the Sides are one piece...there is no joint on the bottom bout!
Head Plate	Ebony
Bridge	Ebony
Neck	Sapele - as per Pete: although looking like Mahogany, it's stronger. Allowing for a slightly thinner neck, it is heavier, vibrating less than a lighter one, forcing more of the vibration energy to the bridge. Some say this boosts volume.

Smaller Bout Width	90mm
Larger Bout Width	100mm
Smaller Bout Breadth	11"
Larger Bout Breadth	14.5"
Finish	Front - French Polished
Tuners	High End Gotoh Ebony machines gold plated with Deep Tone buttons
Bindings	Cherry
Neck speed	Fast
Playability	Incredibly easy - the fingerboard and playing is like silk.
Intonation	Perfect - with 0.050 compensation this is an easily tuned instrument
Sound	The full palate is available to you in this instrument. She rings, bellows deeply with crispness of attack across the entire spectrum, while maintaining beautiful separation of voice with exceptional clarity.
Case	TKL Hard Shell Arch Top Case included A Bam Case is available for an additional $640.00

Comments	Workmanship is superb, woods are attractive, the guitar is quite loud, projects magnificently, ringing and resonant, holding a sweet voice, maintaining excellent separation and clarity of voice, while the basses are booming nicely as I play her. There are many things to love about this guitar, but a stand out is the silky feel of this baby. Pete's guitars as a whole have this feel and this one is no different. The neck is very accommodating, allowing those tight 2,3,4 finger inserts, while maintaining low action, no buzzes, with superb sound. There is everything to love about this guitar. This is another in a series of supremely elegant and masterful instruments from a gentleman luthier to a master player. An appraisal of this instrument values it at a minimum of $5495
Sound Files	Samantha's Lullaby by Richard F. Sayage - written for my baby girl (this is an excerpt). The music is available here
Price	Insured Express Shipping is included to the 50 US Anywhere else is subject to the most recent quote from FedEx.... Please write to me.
