One of the purest and most dynamic expressions of tonal excellence you will find in a traditional guitar design. Minarik's patented Tone Tail Engineering increases the left-side mass that is crucial to sustaining enhanced low frequency response. Minarik's patented Custom Tone Chambering makes Sceptre's sculpted upper bouts come alive. The Sceptre also features Minarik's custom carved Cello Topp. This unique arch-top gently flows into a "dished" lip that follows the lower edge area of the instrument. The dished edge reduces towards the upper bouts where a sculpted ridge cascades down the center of the upper bouts, diminishing effortlessly toward the mid point of the body.
