The BR-243 delivers prewar style and tone for less in the popular 000 body shape. Using only the finest materials such as a select solid Adirondack top, handcarved forward shifted X-bracing, choice solid mahogany back and sides, and a traditional dovetail neck joint all speaks of a hard-to-find prewar box. Expertly applied tortoise binding adorns the body and sound hole. The intricate floral-design pearl and abalone inlay work on the headstock is a touch of fine art.
