| Caldersmith ‘GRANGE’
Guitars |
These guitars maintain the quality features of Caldersmith guitars, whilst
keeping the non-professional player (and their budget) in mind. All tops are
made from Western Red Cedar or King William Pine incorporating rosettes in the original Caldersmith
style. The soundboard is reinforced with a graded rectangular lattice of western red
cedar instead of balsa/carbon fibre. This gives a somewhat different sound
from the carbon fibre guitars while retaining good projection and sustain.
Other features of the
'Grange' guitars include :
- Lighter 15mm ply frame.
- 1.5mm thick soundboard.
- Double acting Truss Rod.
- Tapered fingerboard to the bass side.
- Lightweight backpack or normal ply case.
The grange design has also proven particularly effective for the higher
range treble and octave guitars.
‘Grange Models’ currently sell in Australia for $4,000
