The lower bout is 15,5 inch and the sides are from 2 to 2,5 inch. Scale length is 25,5 inch (as with the standard Dome).
In esthetics it's moving one step closer to the looks of it's steel string cousins; binding on the neck, bound fingerboard and the sunburst top finish.
Binding on the top is simulated; the color is removed from the edge, exposing the yellow color of the Port Orford cedar.
And the Slaman logo in abalone on the headstock, never to be seen on the standard size Dome.
The prototype guitar features a Port Orford Cedar, flamed walnut back and sides, Spanish cedar neck and ebony fingerboard. The neck has a distinct rosewood line where the head joins the neck. The tailpiece and bridge are ebony, RMC piezo pickups.
