Parlor sized German silver cutaway

The parlor cutaway body is made from German Silver, a nickel brass that has the appearance of silver, does not tarnish and has a natural reverberation.
This instrument has a single cone biscuit bridge construction but with a  deeper sound well and taller bridge which contributes to a bright clear high end. The neck runs the full length of the instrument without a joint or dowel socket where the neck meets the body. I carve the neck from a full length two piece blank of Bolivian rosewood, book matched if possible.  I attribute their long sustain to this unique construction as there is no glue line or joint to interrupt the vibration of the whole length of the instrument.   
Tuners can be Korean or Gotoh.
National hot plate is available (400) for the amplified version.
Scale length is  21.5" with 12 frets to the body.
