Our Greenest Ever Guitar!
This guitar is a version of the Bailey Sweet P – in this age where traditional timbers are getting harder to find I am always looking to experiment with alternatives…when we were offered some ‘Pod Mahagany’ I was intrigued – it looks a bit similar to ‘real’ mahogany but only comes in smaller pieces so ideal for my Sweet P acoustic guitar.
Wind, Sun, Wood and Bone
For some time now all our guitars have been made using ONLY renewable energy – We have been using reclaimed and FSC approved timber since day one but this is our most green guitar to date – ALL the wood for it’s construction is either reclaimed or ethically sourced. Even the braces for this instrument were reclaimed from an old double bass soundboard!
- The neck is reclaimed from Pew wood – it’s first life was in a Glasgow church.
- Tanzanian Blackwood fretboard and bridge
- Pod Mahogany back and sides
- Cedar of Lebanon Soundboard
What does it sound like?
The sound is surprising loud and bright – The small body makes it more responsive than one of my larger acoustics – great for fingerpicking or cutting through a mix if you play with a lot of other musicians (or drummers).
This guitar is available to buy from our Bailey Shop – For more info contact us
