Grand Concert Bevel Edge Guitars - New Shape.

Grand Concert Bevel Edge Guitars. Currently my favourite guitar. The bevel edge on the front and the back was inspired by two guitar makers of fine repute, Grit Laskin and Kevin Ryan. When I first saw the bevel edge on Grit Laskin's guitar I was very inspired to try it for myself. Whilst on a wood buying trip in 2004 I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with my good friend Kevin Ryan in his studio, on his bench he had a similar bevel edge to the one pictured above, and being the gracious and giving person that he is, he shared with me the steps necessary to achieve this bevel edge. On completion of this guitar I realised that a bevel edge front and back has to be and in my judgement is the ultimate comfort guitar. All the players to date who have played this instrument are wishing to move their old instruments on and acquire a bevel edge guitar. It totally takes out the stress that one experiences on ones forearm in playing guitar.
