My family's experiencing a negative cash flow this month, so to meet all our required debts I have to shed some of my babies. First up is my Waverly Street soprano No. 39. I bought it directly from Dave of WS. Strung Low-G with Guadalupe fibre-core wound strings (which sound PERFECT on it!) Here's the model info from Dave:
#39 has a classic shaped body, and the peg head is patterned after the old Kamaka pineapples. Grover geared tuners. Set up with low-G strings. The book matched back (slightly spalted), sides, and neck are sycamore. Walnut finger board & bridge. Book matched quarter sawn fir top. Excellent sound (loud too!)
Note: there is a repaired crack in the top, just beyond the bridge plate on the 1st string side. (Opps!) It's hardly visible, and does not effect the sound. (Alan's note: I never noticed the crack - forgot it was even mentioned!)
Classic style
13 1/2" scale, 15 frets (soprano)
Fir top
Sycamore back
Sycamore sides & neck
Walnut fret board
Walnut bridge
PVC nut & saddle
Grover geared tuners
White position dots
Aquila Nylgut strings (wound low-G)
21" long
6 3/4" wide
2 1/4" thick
Weighs 16 ounces
Oiled fret board & bridge
Lacquer finish on body
Completed April 2008
COST: $160 (no shipping fee!).
