A large palette of musical colour is possible across Earl Marsh’s range of guitars providing for a clear focused sound that is well balanced and robust in the bass strings to clear and crisp with excellent sustain in the trebles.
All Earl S. Marsh guitars have the unique feature of a built in double thickness binding on the bass side of the instrument. This provides for extra comfort because the binding rounding off is increased significantly. The binding will never wear away from friction of fabrics. The extra binding thickness provides for increased stiffness on the bass side of the soundboard giving a strong robust bass.
The soundboards are fashioned from the best European spruce selected personally from a wood store high up in the Swiss Alps. This is cut at the right time of the year and only at the correct phasing of the moon when the sap in not active and rising. To complement the quality of the soundboard only the tightest grained spruce is used for the strutting and bracing. Occasionally best quality Western red cedar is used.
This concert model is the culmination of the various successful attributes of other models that made by the luthier.
