Mikayla's ILIFF
Mikayla is our eldest granddaughter and this is her first Guitar build. Completed on a part time basis and taking around 20 working days to complete.
Mikayla has selected a Butterfly Theme and has executed it with great artistic flare and coupled it with a timber Mosaic eccentric Rosette, just Beautiful.

The ILIFF is our mid size guitar model. It has the curves and proportions of our full size Jumbo model. 12 frets to the body with Falcate Soundboard and Live back Bracing its very modern internally.

Mikayla selected some very nice Tonewoods
Indian rosewood for the back and sides
Adirondack Spruce for the Soundboard 
Curly American Maple  3 piece Neck
Ebony for the Bridge, Headstock, Bindings and Fretboard 

It has a very large presence for a little guitar, one much more like its bigger Jumbo siblings. A full rounded sound, well balanced access the strings, and a pleasure to play.
