Model R-45 Guitar by Thomas Rein Guitars

MODEL R-45 SLOPE DREAD STEEL STRING

 

A thunderous J-45 is one of the archetypal vintage American guitar sounds. My R-45 is available in a natural finish. My shape is just a bit shallower at the bottom than the original to make playing while seated more comfortable. I have found that a 5” depth at the end graft is not necessary for a huge bottom. The upper bout and waist are just a bit more defined which helps the appearance, and again, make this guitar easier to play while seated.

Available in a short 24.9? scale in mahogany at the R-45, or with an advanced 25.4? scale as the R-45A in just about any wood combination.

Supplied with TKL or Guardian case and Waverly open-backed tuners.
