This is a stunning example of David's work. Many of my clients over the years have embraced the incredible designs of Greg Smallman and Jim Redgate but they prefer Spruce soundboards. Smallman and Redgate don't often build with Spruce. While David Argent makes wonderful Cedar guitars as well, he has really accomplished something special by combining the building style utilizing the parabolic arched back/lattice braced soundboard design with a SPRUCE soundboard. Finally, a Spruce lattice braced guitar that sings! For fans of Spruce, David's guitars bring all the projection and power that players expect from this incredible style of building, but combine those attributes with the clarity and voicing obtained only from Spruce. If you love power/projection and Spruce, you will find this instrument brings you the best of all worlds, and as an extra "plus" the Brazilian is to die for!
