This is a bit of a late update… but the guitar has arrived! It truly looks stunning in person, with its beautifully figured Fiddleback Mahogany back/sides with gorgeous Etched Copper inlays for the rosette, headstock and back.
Despite its small body and short scale, it has a HUGE voice, making it ideal for comfortable playing without sacrificing on the sound. Despite its relative small size, this guitar is quite powerful without a single hint of boxiness. This is what you would expect from a good luthier built guitar, but you would be surprised how uncommon it really is.

My photography skills are still lacking and it was very difficult to capture the amount of detail on this guitar. The copper engraving, the figured wood, the detailed headstock and gorgeous tuners. I will be sharing Tom's own professional photos in the following post but you will have to make do with these for now
Check out this gorgeous Italian Spruce top which is stiff, adding brightness and punch, which gives it a very robust voice despite its small size
The back and sides are a very special set of Fiddleback Mahogany with an incredible figure.
And of course, this guitar comes with the full inlay package of engraved copper on the headstock, rosette and backstrip. The inlay pattern is Tom’s signature design called the “Penrosette”. It’s stunning to behold in person.
We also could not resist upgrading the tuners to the open gear Robson tuners, giving it a very exquisite look.
