Direct from Lindisfarne Tasmania !!
Very happy to receive our first new Allan Bull concert guitar !!
This is a great sounding & looking concert guitar with a very attractive singing voice, projection separation & sustain !!!
The lightweight soundboard with asymmetrical spruce braces delivers a quick attack/ response and evenness of support across the guitar’s range with high structural integrity.
Allan only produces 6 guitars per year !!
A must try !!

There are number of features of the construction of this guitar which are somewhat unique to Bull guitars
Firstly, the neck is detachable, fixed into the neck block/cradle with socket head screws, this system has advantages in construction & also in long-term maintenance. It also provides a very rigid neck/body joint with a lot of support under the upper fretboard which improves performance through improved sustain
The guitar is fitted with a sound port which gives the player a more complete idea of the forward sound of the guitar somewhat like a small foldback speaker. The port is fitted with a tornavoz to lower the air cavity resonant frequency & increase lower range support.
The scale is compensated individually on each string at the nut for fretting stretch & at the saddle for travel stretch. This ensures accurate intonation at all points of the scale on all strings.
The finish is a combination of French polish base coats & pre-catalysed lacquer. satin lacquer is used on the soundboard and gloss on the remainder of the guitar. It is flexible but relatively hard & scratch resistant. However, it is effectively no harder than the substrate to which it is applied. The coating on the soundboard is quite thin to reduce wight & improve sound & should be treated with particular care.
