This
Maccaferri copy with a D shaped sound hole was built for a member of the band "Perculator".
The Sitka spruce and mahogany instrument has a scale length of 650 mm and an
ebony fingerboard. It can have either twelve or fourteen frets to the body.
The top and back are domed to increase projection and the D shaped sound hole
has a rosette made from decorative rewa rewa wood, assembled in a radiating
pattern. The guitar also features a carbon fibre reinforced wooden tailpiece
and a bolt-on tennoned neck join.

The
guitar below
was made for a left handed jazz and blues player. It is built along similar
lines to the D hole with the traditional maccaferri tailpiece. The
player designed some of the inlay. A standard model would come with black and
white rosette, neck dots and Burgin motif on the headstock.
