This just came in...a Batson No:5 ...this is the second Batson that I've worked on and their No 5 series is their no frills guitar. Basic priced at US$2800.00 with no cutaway.
This piece comes with a cutaway..interestingly is the top bracing is a lattice brace over the entire top with a smaller bridge plate..so the tone is even yet loud.
the large soundport over the sides gives the player the immediate sound feedback. Floating neck very much like a jazz arch top...where the fretboard extension is not glued over the top ensures more surface area for the top to vibrate and more energy transfer to the sides and back. Overall a louder sounding guitar.
Bound fingerboard...Neck profile- 1 3/4 neck width..with a slightly thicker c profile but it gets a little thicker after the 5th fret onwards..
cedar top with good old indian rosewood combi...simply magical for fingerpickers..
Grained ivoroid binding over the body....won't type too much just watch me explain all of it over the video and you tell me if its a good sounding piece or was I dreaming...cheers Jarvis
