Julius Borges 12-fret 000

Julius Borges builds Martin-like instruments, but with some significant differences when comparing his work to guitars by others who build in a similar style. He not only uses Adirondack Spruce tops and wood purfling, he also uses hot animal hide glue for all stages of construction. This 12-fret with solid headstock is patterned after a few 000 models that Martin made in the same style in the early 1930s. This one has Indian Rosewood back and sides.
