A real Young Guitar, played and not merely described.
This demo of the model comes from the Joshua Young Built Guitars playlist linked on Joshua’s original website.
The model
Built around a clear purpose.
The Young ‘Bone is Joshua’s rosewood interpretation of the workhorse guitar: a red spruce top, rosewood back and sides, herringbone top trim, ivoroid binding and a volute carved by hand.
Many rosewood species can be discussed. Style 28 dreadnought builds begin at $12,000, and Joshua’s current model listing offers quartersawn Brazilian rosewood as a $2,500 upgrade.
