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. 650mm scale length is an option at no extra charge. You can listen to some recordings of me playing a European Spruce/Cuban mahogany "Daithi" by clicking on the highlighted links. First my own composition in DADGAD tuning, "Daithi's Boogie" and then David Gates "If" in DGDGBD tuning. You can hear Joe Bardwell playing his Lutz spruce/Cuban Mahogany "Daithi" (pictured above) accompanying Lizzy Doe on fiddle on their website and here are two videos featuring Joe, Liizzy and Kate Locksley with Joe playing that guitar:
