What We Think

This highly responsive and elegant Concert Deluxe model from Froggy Bottom in Vermont is a joy to play and to hear. The notes ring clean and true, the fundamental sustaining for more full seconds than I've got fingers! The top is incredibly delineated. This was one powerful, old tree. A giant and ancient Red Spruce. The Walnut is light and sensitive with beautiful figuring and coloration. The tasteful abalone adds an element of flair to this wonderful array of wood. For performance or composition, Concert model will floor you.

Manufacturer's Description from Other

Froggy Bottom Model C Concert Guitar

The Model C is a traditional concert-sized guitar with lush harmonic complexity.

The steel string concert (or ‘double 0’) body style evolved from the classical guitar and retains the rich blend of overtones and projection of those instruments. With a lower bout of 14”, this is a comfortable guitar to hold and play that delivers excellent volume for its size.

By today’s standards, a small guitar, the Froggy Bottom Model C is generally noted for its responsive voice, rich tonal balance and surprising projection. In historical terms, if you were looking for the best guitar around up until the mid-1920s, it would be a concert guitar. Primarily regarded as a finger-style guitar, our Model C will respond well to picks if not pushed too hard.

The first Froggy Bottom Model C was built in honor of the accomplished and innovative classical luthier Thomas Humphrey, an old friend and colleague of Michael Millard’s who passed away unexpectedly in 2008.

Did you ever get my note about my playing your Humphrey Model C Brazilian at Rudy's? It is hands down the best guitar I have ever played, Michael!! What  stunning sound and eye popping piece of Brazilian! Congratulations.

- T.H.
