This 2018 Froggy Bottom Model C Deluxe is in immaculate condition and built with premium tonewoods. It features walnut back and sides, a high-grade German spruce top, Waverly tuners, abalone position dots, a belly bridge, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard.
The guitar delivers extraordinary harmonic richness, outstanding tonal balance, and remarkable responsiveness.
Based on the classic “00” body shape, with a 14-inch lower bout, it offers exceptional playing comfort without sacrificing volume or projection. Inspired by the concert guitars that dominated the market before the 1920s, it retains the harmonic complexity, sensitivity, and expressiveness that define this historic design.
This Model C particularly excels at fingerstyle playing, while also responding beautifully to flatpicking with moderate dynamics. It produces a surprisingly large and powerful sound for its size.
These guitars are hand-built by master luthier Michael Millard, who is approaching retirement from guitar making. Froggy Bottom Guitars will continue operating under the guidance of outstanding builders including Andy Mueller, Eric Goodenough, Mark Burds, John Gospodarek, and Mike Hauser.
The guitar comes complete with its premium TKL Black American Vintage Series hardshell case and the original purchase invoice from Rudy’s Music in New York, where it was originally purchased in 2018.
