SOLD - 2007 NKForster Guitars Model C - Custom Acoustic Guitar

Our beautiful mountains are becoming a favorite holiday spot for English luthier Nigel Forster so he hand delivered his latest creation to us. Al and Paul had a blast test driving this one for the first time, it has a stellar voice that is clear and balance with wonderful treble strings that show his lineage to Stefan Sobell but an open and warm bass that's all his own. On this model Nigel implemented an offset soundhole that gives the player closer proximity to the sound as it exits the guitar making for an excellent player experience. Crafted from Brazilian Rosewood and German spruce for plentiful headroom and clear, rich tone....

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"After 15 years with Stefan Sobell, Nigel Forster is enjoying the freedom to dive into his craft and you players are the lucky beneficiaries. Here he's taken his balanced and strong Model C and offset the soundhole. As Al mentioned it seems to change how the bass behaves and Al found it very easy to record. I enjoy how much sound you get in the driver's seat, it acts a bit like a soundport. But it all comes down to tone for us and this one has it in spades, ringing trebles with endless sustain, full, round bass that satisfies the soul. Another wonderful example of the amazing guitars being crafted in the U.K. and how they offer a new voice to American players." - Paul Heumiller

"The offset soundhole is a key element in this guitar. It seems to make the bass more focused and easier to mic. This is a great guitar and definitely unusual." - Al Petteway
