GD Armstrong: Luthier
aG2 - Concert Acoustic Guitar (examples below)
Body Style: Concert
Based on a 1937 Martin O size that I rebuilt for a customer and fell in love with. These are small body guitars that are very comfortable for smaller people who don't need the booming bass of the dreadnaught.
Finish is usually nitrocellulose lacquer, but others are available. Pickups are optional and would make the model number an aeG2.
Standard measurements:-
Total length: 38 3/8 in.
Body length: 18 3/8 in.
Width of upper body: 10 in.
Width of lower body: 13 1/2 in.
Depth of body at tailblock: 4 1/4 in.
Width of fingerboard at nut: 1 11/16 in.
Width of fingerboard at 12th fret: 2 1/8 in.
String length: 24.9 in.
