The Ruby is my interpretation of a small bodied jumbo guitar. The small body makes it easy to hold and to play.
In addition to the specifications on the standard "Ruby", there is a choice for the body/sides to be either Indian Rosewood or Curly Maple, also included in the body construction is a marquetry back strip.
The neck is a two (2) piece Eastern Red Maple, and the neck and peghead has the choice of either Ivoroid or Tortoise binding. As a final touch, the Elite includes Gold Waverly tuners with Ebony buttons.
She is a beauty, both in looks and sound! Check out the audio clips from the first Ruby Elite that was built.
