Michael Fontenot has built 28 guitars, and after spending real time with this one we could not come up with a single piece of feedback for him. It is a cedar double top with a Nomex core over Indian rosewood, with a low main air resonance around E that gives the bass a punch closer to a great Torres or Santos Hernandez than to a modern double top. So many double tops trade away detail to chase volume, and we cannot find a thing this one gives up. See the full write up, specs, and photo album at the link above.
Strings used: D'Addario EJ45 normal tension nylon
