Offering the same slope shoulder body design, 14 1\/4\" lower bout width, and X-braced construction as the LG-3, the Folksinger was designed to bridge the gap between the ergonomics of a classical guitar neck and the tonal response of a steel string instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal for fingerpicking, the Folksinger boasts 12 frets clear of the body with a 24 3\/4\" scale length and full 2\" wide nut. The tonewoods include a spruce top, Honduran mahogany back and sides, a one-piece Honduran mahogany neck, and Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge with drop-in saddle, yielding a very powerful sound that belies the body size. The guitar has a bold, powerful voice, due in large part to the 12 fret body joint and X-braced construction. The bass register is rich and defined, with sparkling, punchy trebles and a very balanced string-to-string response. This F-25 Folksinger weighs 4lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Honduran mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \n-Shape: Slender D, measuring .810” 1st fret, .980” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Brazilian rosewood, dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, faint wear favoring the plain strings on frets 1-5\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 ¾”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 2”, bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Kluson Deluxe single line\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to 1964\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Spruce, Honduran mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Bracing: X\u003cbr\u003e\n-Bridge: Rosewood, drop-in saddle\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: White vinyl pickguards\u003cbr\u003e\n-Marquetry: Simple rosette and binding\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe instrument is crack-free, and the gloss Natural nitro lacquer finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray.
