Minerva 1935 Smeck 12-Fret, Mahogany & Sitka Spruce
Details
This Minerva 1935 Smeck 12-Fret is Minerva’s take on the revered Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe. The Sitka Spruce top paired with its Mahogany back, sides, and neck, give the guitar a large voice, with rich and complex harmonics and overtones. The home-brewed, hand rubbed spirit varnish allows the guitar to breathe, making it extremely dynamic and responsive. It sounds and feels as if it was built in the 1930’s, and has been taken care of and played passionately for the last 85+ years. This Minerva 1935 Smeck is perfect for those looking for a high quality, hand built guitar that embodies the spirit, feeling, and tone of the guitars of yesteryear.
