Hand-built by luthier Nicholas Peringer, the Model JC is a sixteen-inch steel string cutaway guitar with an all solid wood, 25 1/2 inch scale length, adjustable truss rod and forward-shifted "X" bracing. The JC adds to Peringer's line of traditional, dreadnought steel string models and his acoustic bass guitar line. The standard JC model comes with your choice of either Honduran or African mahogany or Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka spruce or Western red cedar top. Custom inlays, electronics and a selection of rosettes are available. Also available without a cutaway or in left-handed models, prices start at $1600 MSRP.
