Xaver Mini-Jumbo with side soundport

This mini-jumbo guitar is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the ears. The subtle sunburst is achieved with a dye called "Aged Natural Cherry". The soundboard is sitka spruce. The fingerboard and bridge are cocobolo, and the side soundport is reinforced with figured maple. As with other Xaver mini-jumbo guitars, this instrument is equally at home being strummed as it is being finger-picked. This guitar is currently on display at the Ottawa Folklore Centre. So, drop by anytime and check it out.
