{"product_id":"2025-ashley-sanders-lattice-guitar","title":"2025 Ashley Sanders Lattice Guitar","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"288\" data-end=\"772\"\u003eFew countries have produced as many world-class luthiers as Australia, and Ashley Sanders has firmly joined that lineage. Based in Port Elliot, South Australia, Sanders builds lattice-braced concert instruments that combine the power and sustain typical of the Australian school with a natural and organic tonal character. His background as a cabinet maker shows in every detail, with elegant proportions, subtle visual design, and a focus on sound and playability over ornamentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"777\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"791\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003eThis 2025 model, Sanders’s 76th guitar, features a cedar top with beautiful medullary rays and stunning Ziricote back and sides under a thin nitrocellulose finish. The result is a durable surface that preserves the acoustic sensitivity of French polish while offering greater resistance to wear. The guitar’s understated rosette of earthy greens and browns, wide bindings, and clean craftsmanship give it a confident, refined aesthetic that matches its sonic authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1669\"\u003eThe lattice bracing, with maple veneer reinforcements rather than carbon fiber, delivers a vibrant, natural, sustaining voice with exceptional balance across the registers. The basses linger endlessly, supporting melodies with rich resonance, while the trebles remain warm, full, and even throughout the range. The result is a powerful yet deeply musical instrument that combines projection and character in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1671\" data-end=\"1674\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1720\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1720\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003e650 mm scale length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003eCedar top\u003c\/strong\u003e with pronounced medullary rays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1799\"\u003eZiricote back and sides\u003c\/strong\u003e with wide bindings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1896\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1896\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1842\"\u003eLattice bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e reinforced with dyed maple veneer (no carbon fiber)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1962\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"1962\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"1924\"\u003eNitrocellulose finish\u003c\/strong\u003e (thin and acoustically transparent)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2035\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"2035\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"1986\"\u003eEbony fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e with medium frets and 5th\/7th position markers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2098\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2098\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2056\"\u003eBarnett tuners\u003c\/strong\u003e with smooth, high-precision performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2200\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2200\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2118\"\u003eC-shaped neck\u003c\/strong\u003e with ultra-comfortable low action (approximately 3.5 mm bass and 2.5 mm treble)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003eZiricote headplate veneer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2234\" data-end=\"2237\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2264\"\u003eSound and Playability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2721\"\u003eThis guitar embodies the best traits of modern Australian design: lightning-fast response, massive sustain, and rich tonal depth.
