"Sir Bill" shares a similar body to "Treebeard" but with a shorter neck becomes a 655mm scale length 12 fretter. With light gauge strings this is an ideal guitar for open and model tunings, tuning down really well with a deep rich tone but balance across the strings.

 

 

Here's a recording of a duet by Bill Briscombe on "Sir Bill" and myself on my Cedar/Maple "Samhain" playing Bill's arrangement of Anxo Pintos's tune "Cancro Cru".
