Thomas Rein R1 12 Fret Guitar

Honduran Mahogany back & sides

Adirondack Top

French polished top, with Nitro cellulose lacquer back & sides

Brazilian Rosewood bridge

Unslotted bone bridge pins

Good lookig Granadillo fretboard

 Nickel Waverly tuning machines

Comfortable short (24.9") scale length

This guitar is modeled after the old Gibson L-1 size of Robert Johnson fame. Here are some more interesting details. The Brazilian for the bridge came from a flitch that Tom Rein found at the Harmony Guitar Co. going out of business sale in Chicago in 1976. The Granadillo fretboard is as close as can be found to the look & resonance of Brazilian Rosewood, readily available today. Tom's French Polish is very similar to Gibson's Loar mandolins: an oil varnish intermediate coat with French polish on the top for final gloss.

Tom's R1 is just a bit larger than the original L-1 that had a 24.25" scale. The difference between a 24.25" scale & 24.9" is 4%, so he enlarged the body 4% to accommodate a 24.9" scale.

Better grade Hiscox Lite flight case included.
