The body is smaller than dreadnought size, and being all mahogany the sound is bright and more trebly than usual. The back is slightly bellied like a double bass (fiddleback I think it's called). Soundboard is different to normal rosewood. The soundhole is smaller, but the neck has the same extension on the treble side into the soundhole and the bridge looks identical. ![]() The headstock is similar but slightly different at the top, with multi-strip binding. It has a raised rim around the soundhole with inlay. It is similar to the appearance of the above, except it has abalone inlay around the top and side binding except at the back.

Thought I'd share the picture and ask if anyone has experience with playing one? ![]() I found this neat looking acoustic for auction on Ebay.
