Introducing Josh's Signature Concert Guitar, meticulously developed over the years in collaboration with Josh Teskey. This exquisite instrument features our Concert body shape, inspired by vintage guitars from the 1940s and modernized to perfection. The size sits comfortably between our Mini and OM models, offering a smaller full-size guitar (000) that excels in blues, country, folk, and fingerstyle playing.
Key Design Features:
-
Body Depth: The body of Josh's signature model is deeper, measuring 120mm (4.73 inches) at the lower bout, providing a richer and more resonant sound.
-
Top Design: Minimalist design with no rosette, highlighting the stunning grain of the Queensland Blue Fig.
-
Headstock: Adorned with a book-matched cap of feature-grade Tasmanian blackwood and brass (gold) tuning machines. The brass hardware pays homage to Josh's background as a plumber.
-
Special Inlay: The fretboard features a unique inlay, replicating Josh's arm tattoo. Crafted from Victorian Ash native to Josh's home region, this inlay symbolizes the great Yara River and the location of the Half Mile Harvest studio.
Origin Story:
The inspiration for this special guitar began with Josh's tattoo inlay, first discussed with Martin Pratley in the back room of a Brisbane concert hall in late 2019. This collaboration has produced an extraordinary instrument that has already contributed to the creation of new songs for Josh and the Teskey Brothers band.
