The 'Souix 3' model pictured above features a spectacular set of figured Walnut back & sides in conjunction with a Western Red cedar top, boxwood binding,  ebony 'pyramid' bridge and mitred purfling.  This guitar has a unique Venetian body design with a 15" lower bout dimension and 4" body depth at the end pin.  

        The non cutaway instrument pictured below features Indian rosewood back & sides, again with a Western Red cedar top,  rosewood binding,  handmade wood rosette,  rosewood 'pyramid' bridge and mitred purfling.

        The real story on both of these guitars is on the inside.  Andrew has developed a unique, almost Kasha-like fan bracing configuration utilizing tapered I-beam style struts that give the maximum strength for the minimum of mass.  Two of the fan struts continue through a 'flying' transverse strut into the upper bouts to utilize as much of the soundboard as possible!  

       Both of these instruments are maximized for fingerstyle guitar;  great balance,  even response and a surprisingly thick midrange!
