With a 406mm lower bout and a 120mm body depth, this guitar is somewhere between an OM and a small Jumbo. It is, in essence, the same body as "Treebeard" but brought to a 14 fret body join and a more "normal" scale length. The aim is for a large guitar that can be used for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle. It has good volume with a nice deep bass but good balance across the strings and the ringing, shimmering trebles that really work in dropped tunings for fingerstyle. The 655mm scale length helps giving a little extra tension on the strings.65omm scale length is an option at no extra charge.
