Simon Fay Acoustic Guitar/Ameritage Case

Description

At 15″ across the lower bout, it’s about the size of an OM or a classical guitar, but has added body depth for an increase in bass response. Words like “lush” and “complex” only begin to describe the supple tones that this instrument is capable of! The sinker redwood top, dark brown from the mineral deposits picked up while it was submerged, gives the guitar a heightened sensitivity and an extremely quick response, perfect for a fingerstyle player with a light to medium touch, or for jazz runs or arpeggios played with a flat pick. The action is low and buttery up and down the neck.
It has a stunning Ziricote back as well as double-side construction (the inside laminate appears to be Indian rosewood) for extra rim strength without adding weight. There is a sound port on the bass side, which gives the player a lovely window into the sound coming off of the instrument. The scale is 25″, with a nut width of 1 13/16″ and string spacing of 2 5/16″ at the saddle… again, very enticing to the fingerstyle guitarist. The fingerboard is Ziricote, with wood binding and accents throughout. The neck profile is a low “D” shape and is extremely comfortable.
The attention to detail on this instrument is staggering, it’s easy to see why the wait list is so long for a new Fay.
The condition is excellent, with just a couple tiny dings in the top and no fret wear. Comes with original custom Ameritage hardshell case.
