Scott Modern Terz
While the terz guitar was originally a nineteenth century phenomenon, I offer a versatile modern equivalent which is more similar in design to a contemporary concert guitar. Its powerful, brilliant and lyrical tone projects clearly, balancing very well with any accompaniment including piano and orchestra. Beyond nineteenth century repertoire, the brilliance and higher register of this model are an asset in modern solo and ensemble music.
Price: Starting at $5,200CAD
Materials & Options
Every Scott guitar is made entirely from the very finest quality woods that are seasoned for many years. There are no composites, carbon fibre, plywood or other modern novelties present in my instruments as I focus exclusively on creating timeless, professional artist grade works of acoustical art.
Soundboards
All of my guitars come with your choice of the finest spruce or Western Red Cedar available. The choice of top wood does not affect the price of a guitar.
Backs & Sides
I offer a number of options for the backs and sides of my guitars. The following list includes the most common choices, but I offer other woods too. If you have something else in mind, inquire about availability. The prices listed here show the cost each option adds to the base price of a guitar.
Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia) + $0
Indian Rosewood has always been the first choice of many luthiers throughout history. I adore this wood too as it strongly delivers everything a superb concert guitar needs. It is my most popular option, and the quality of Indian Rosewood available today is terrific.
European Maple (Acer Pseudoplatanus) + $150
A visually and acoustically gorgeous wood with a long musical history. This is the same species of maple that bowed string instrument makers treasure, not to mention the frequent choice of Torres for his most important commissions.
