His instruments don’t just respond to your playing—they invite you to keep playing. And this 2023 cedar lattice-top is among the very finest I’ve come across. From its deep, overtone-rich sound to the absolute ease of playability, it’s an instrument that feels like an extension of your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eWalter’s design is inspired by Thomas Humphrey’s Millennium model, featuring a raised fingerboard for effortless access to the higher frets, a resonance-focused all-wood lattice bracing that gives the guitar a rich, natural voice, and dual sound ports that enhance projection and player feedback. The lattice braced top retains a woody, organic tone that fills the room, but in a convincing manner. The result? A guitar that’s powerful yet beautifully balanced, with an almost piano-like clarity—especially on the first string, which is among the best I’ve ever heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preSlide slideIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Few Standout Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCedar top with all-wood lattice bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e – Warm, overtone-rich, and deeply resonant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e640mm scale, 52mm nut width\u003c\/strong\u003e – Slightly shorter scale for effortless stretches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaised fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e – Provides easier upper-fret access and enhances projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual sound ports\u003c\/strong\u003e – Offers a more immersive playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThin, C-shaped neck\u003c\/strong\u003e – Steve Walter’s necks are among the most comfortable in the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScheller tuners with buffalo horn buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e – Smooth tuning with premium materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preSlide slideIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThis guitar has been well played but remains in excellent structural condition.
