Fairbanks F-20 Nick Lucas Acoustic Guitar, Flamed Maple & Adirondack Spruce
Details
The Fairbanks F-20NL is a faithful reproduction of the second model endorsed by the crooning troubadour of guitar music in the early twentieth century, Nick Lucas. Like the F-10NL, the F-20NL uses the same templates and molds as the standard F-20 and adds roughly 1/2" to its total body depth, creating a much larger presence in relation to its body size. Thin, unscalloped top bracing creates a loud, well-balanced tone all the way up the neck. In addition, standard NL appointments include double-bound fingerboard, soundhole, top and back, and MOP Nick Lucas-style fingerboard and headstock inlays.
