It is carved\u00a0from all European tonewoods, including highly flamed maple and Carpathian Spruce. The appointments are ebony with a subtle hint of Macassar Ebony on the rear. The neck has quite a wide taper to it and is flatter in profile than most necks I have carved in order match my customer&#8217;s request. This Amati is bound in flamed maple with a neck bound in ebony. The top is braced with parallel tone bars which work really nice with\u00a0the overall vibe of the Amati and provide a sound that is lush and balanced. It features a Kent Armstrong floating humbucker and an internal K&amp;K soundboard pickup.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1419\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/2015-amati\/045-upper-side\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1419\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1419\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1419\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-side.jpg\" alt=\"045 upper side\" width=\"720\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-side.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-side-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-side-301x200.jpg 301w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Amati maple back, sides, and binding<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1418\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/2015-amati\/045-upper-bout\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1418\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1418\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1418\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-bout.jpg\" alt=\"045 upper bout\" width=\"720\" height=\"1083\" srcset=\"http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-bout.jpg 1361w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-bout-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-upper-bout-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The waist and heel<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1417\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/2015-amati\/045-series\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1417\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1417\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1417\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-Series.jpg\" alt=\"045 Series\" width=\"720\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-Series.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-Series-300x188.jpg 300w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-Series-320x200.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Amati Front and Back<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1416\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/2015-amati\/045-front\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1416\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1416\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1416\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-front.jpg\" alt=\"045 front\" width=\"720\" height=\"1083\" srcset=\"http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-front.jpg 1361w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-front-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-front-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Front in perspective<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1415\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/2015-amati\/045-back\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1415\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1415\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-back.jpg\" alt=\"045 back\" width=\"720\" height=\"1083\" srcset=\"http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-back.jpg 1361w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-back-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/045-back-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">That Flame!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Amati was commissioned for a player with a classical, fingerstyle approach, and was built around their needs and preferences.
