We've got a special creature from Kevin Muiderman today: a prototype Jumbo-size guitar for fingerstyle legend Leo Kottke. Muiderman's J16 model underwent some modification to meet Kottke's evolving needs, and he toured with this prototype for several months before moving on to some different ideas. Here, Muiderman substituted his ordinarily radiused Sitka Spruce double-top for a flat one, which was then oil-finished, as per Kottke's request, as are the open gear tuners and the wider nut and saddle. The Narra wood used for the back and sides gives the guitar its strong middle register presence. Tonally, the instrument has a crisp, dry voice with lots of projection. There's an amazing amount of separation across the registers, the kind that fingerstylists dream about. The low-end is articulate and controlled, and Kottke requested that there be two end pin slots, to allow for two pickups to be used simultaneously. At present, there is a K&K undersaddle pickup installed.
