A variation of the popular full-hollow body Bill West 906 model. A modern interpretation based on vintage archtop aesthetics. Built especially to be resonant and responsive acoustically while discouraging feedback.

“Roger consulted me on every step of the process. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the history of American guitar-building, yet seems really excited about trying new designs.“

Sitka spruce top
Soft curly maple back & sides
24 ¾” scale ebony fretboard
