Specifications

This 25.5″ scale Irish bouzouki is in Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. Finish is buffed water-based lacquer. Octave pairs on the G and D courses. Construction details include X bracing and a bolted-on neck. There is a modern two-way guitar truss rod in the neck and the bridge has thumbwheel height adjustment. Decoration includes herringbone purfling and curly maple bindings and back strip. Gold hardware and gold pearl Celtic-knot inlays complete the look. This instrument has the full complex sound and overtones you get with the longer scale. Loud enough to hold its own in any Celtic session, it is also capable of great delicacy and restraint. Comes with a gigbag. Play MP3:
