Built in Spokane, Washington, this instrument is lightweight, highly resonant, and features a refined voice that has fully opened up over twelve years of careful play. Sahlin's waitlist spans several years, and for good reason. His guitars are known for their tonal clarity, playability, and attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"946\" data-start=\"922\"\u003eTone and Playability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1307\" data-start=\"948\"\u003eFrom the first chord, this guitar reveals its character. The basses are full and responsive, with a punchy and lively quality that supports lyrical phrasing. The trebles are bell-like and clear, with excellent sustain and color. It has all the warmth and balance you’d want in a traditional spruce fan-braced guitar, but with an unusually rich and open voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1668\" data-start=\"1309\"\u003eThe neck is thin and comfortable, with a subtle ergonomic twist that helps ease the wrist into a natural position in first position. The action is low and easy, with room to adjust further if needed. The frets are medium to tall, and the setup is smooth and welcoming. Overall, it is a highly playable guitar with an expressive range that invites exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1701\" data-start=\"1670\"\u003eCraftsmanship and Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2079\" data-start=\"1703\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1729\" data-start=\"1703\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1729\" data-start=\"1705\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1713\" data-start=\"1705\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e European spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1767\" data-start=\"1730\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1767\" data-start=\"1732\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1751\" data-start=\"1732\"\u003eBack and Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1800\" data-start=\"1768\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1800\" data-start=\"1770\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1782\" data-start=\"1770\"\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-fan traditional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1849\" data-start=\"1801\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1849\" data-start=\"1803\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1812\" data-start=\"1803\"\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany with subtle ergonomic twist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1874\" data-start=\"1850\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1874\" data-start=\"1852\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1868\" data-start=\"1852\"\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1893\" data-start=\"1875\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1893\" data-start=\"1877\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1888\" data-start=\"1877\"\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1954\" data-start=\"1894\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1954\" data-start=\"1896\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1908\" data-start=\"1896\"\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abalone center tiles with wheat motif borders\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2003\" data-start=\"1955\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2003\" data-start=\"1957\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1971\" data-start=\"1957\"\u003eHeadplate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abalone inlay \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2031\" data-start=\"2004\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2031\" data-start=\"2006\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2017\" data-start=\"2006\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e French polish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2053\" data-start=\"2032\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2053\" data-start=\"2034\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2048\" data-start=\"2034\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2079\" data-start=\"2054\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2079\" data-start=\"2056\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2073\" data-start=\"2056\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2487\" data-start=\"2081\"\u003eVisually, the guitar is elegant and understated.
