I've been looking for a new acoustic guitar for a bit.
Was originally thinking I'd just get a Martin 00 or 000 but I already have that covered with my self builds and the couple that I had a line on were sold before I could get back to the UK.
So I've chatted today with Roger Bucknall and commissioned a Fylde Leondaro Rosewood.
Build time in 18-24 months so it won't be with me for a bit.
Rosewood back and sides, sitka spruce top, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard.
I'm speccing some chunky fretwire, but otherwise it is just a standard model.
It will look something like this:

I think the short scale models are called Alchemist and Oberon.
Here is the spec of the Leonardo:

and what sort of material will you play on it? (i.e. mostly lower fret stuff, or more classical-style arrangements?)

I play fingerstyle folk/blues type stuff, a lot of DADGAD which is what I will mostly leave this guitar in.
My other main acoustic is a 000 rosewood bodied self build.
