The back and sides are Osage Orange. In the luthier community, Osage Orange has the reputation of sounding like Brazilian Rosewood. I think it sounds better. It will age to a golden brown. The neck is Honduran Mahogany. The fingerboard and bridge are East Indian Rosewood. The trim and peghead veneer are Sycamore. It has plain Rubner Tuners. The rosette is made of colored veneers.

The top braces on all are scalloped and the bridges are carved to be light to allow the top to respond quickly to both high and low notes. The saddles are tall allowing easy picking and a strong response to a soft touch. The models are named after rivers in Virginia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBob says: \"Most important is achieving such a rich, full sound that it is loud enough for performances without amplification. Amazingly, even tiny adjustments can enhance both tone and volume, producing a responsive instrument that feels good to play. Building these 'live' guitars has become almost an obsession. Any idea for a new feature or an improvement means I have to build a guitar to try it out. I build only a few instruments each year, so I have always tried to build something I would want to play. So far, I feel successful. And, I feel honored by the great players that have bought my instruments.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFor more information, visit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bobgramann.com\"\u003ewww.bobgramann.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bob Gramann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41422701068346,"sku":"C261305GRA1","price":5299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/8813\/files\/2026-05-1617.16.57.jpg?v=1779129727","url":"https:\/\/hmtrad.com\/products\/gramann-the-classical-classical-guitar","provider":"House of Musical Traditions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
