    Description

    Robin Moyes made the back and sides. Simon Marty made the top.
    Radial bracing.
    Made for Slava Grigoryan - who toured with it for over a decade. See youtube videos - guitar on his album cover and he plays in videos. 1 video above. The song "Farewell" sounds great to me, also on youtube.
    1998 Simon Marty/ Robin Moyes cut-a-way classical
    When Slava Grigoryan needed a crossover classical he commissioned Simon Marty for the custom build, Simon, in turn, collaborated with Robin Moyes who had previously built a Cut-a-way classical for Tommy Emmanuel to help with the build. The result is a very playable beautifully constructed cut-a-way by Robin with a master grade Spruce, carbon radial braced soundboard by Simon. Slava was so taken with the guitar he toured with it for over a decade and then passed in on to his brother Leonard.
