    Description

    Robin Moyes made the back and sides. Simon Marty made the top.
    Radial bracing.
    Made for Slava Grigoryan - who toured with it for over a decade. See youtube videos - guitar on his album cover and he plays in videos. 1 video above. The song "Farewell" sounds great to me, also on youtube.
    1998 Simon Marty/ Robin Moyes cut-a-way classical
    When Slava Grigoryan needed a crossover classical he commissioned Simon Marty for the custom build, Simon, in turn, collaborated with Robin Moyes who had previously built a Cut-a-way classical for Tommy Emmanuel to help with the build. The result is a very playable beautifully constructed cut-a-way by Robin with a master grade Spruce, carbon radial braced soundboard by Simon. Slava was so taken with the guitar he toured with it for over a decade and then passed in on to his brother Leonard.

    Description from Guitar Center:
    Fender hails the King of Rock ˜n™ Roll and transports you back to 1967 with the introduction of the Elvis Kingman acoustic guitar-a sharp looking, rich-sounding, hip-swaying evocation of the freewheeling Fender acoustic that Elvis Presley wielded with consummate cool in ™67 cinematic romp Clambake.
    In addition to honoring the King, the Elvis Kingman dreadnought also recreates Fender' famous mid-™60s œWildwood finish, in which living beech trees that provided the backs and sides of the unusual instruments were dyed in several elegantly striking colors before being harvested.
    Highly distinctive features include Presley' signature on the front of the Wildwood-style headstock, solid spruce top with scalloped X bracing for full and resonant tone, laminated Wildwood-style back and sides, Ivoroid neck and body binding, stylish dual checkerboard rosette, maple neck, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with block position inlays and bone nut, Fender œViking rosewood bridge with cream-colored pins and compensated bone saddle, chrome hardware and gloss neck and body finish.!
