Scharpach Grand Dad (12-string)

This is the 12-string version of the Scharpach Jumbo. The Grand Dad is available in all kinds of materials (recommended WITHOUT a cutaway). The Grand-dad can be obtained with a 12 fret neck or 14 fret neck.

The guitar is built in a traditional way, but is also available with a double top design. The double top design is best used with light or medium string tension and will produce a fine detailed tone for finger-picking style.

Nice details are the bridge and headstock design. The position of the bridge pins allow the strings to go in a direct line over the bridge saddle (not hitting other pins as often can be seen on 12-strings). The special design of the headstock guides the strings in a perfect line to the machines. By positioning the machines to the side and underneath the head, it makes it as simple to tune this 12-string as it is to tune a 6-string.

It is remarkable how easily this 12-string can be played!
